| Abstract: | The viability of Mattesia trogodermae spores stored at different temperatures was assessed by the percentage infection induced in 30-day-old Trogoderma glabrum larvae. Exposure to 73°C and higher temperatures for 30 min was lethal to the spores. Spores stored at ?19°C survived better than those stored at 26.7°, 3.5°, or ?30°C. |
