However, the availability of larvicides that meet the criteria of efficacy, safety, and quality is limited and conventional pesticides are no longer preferred for larval control. Although efforts are made to research new active ingredients (AIs), it is equally important to innovate new formulations based on currently available AIs such as microbial agents and insect growth regulators. Studies were therefore conducted to compare the laboratory activity and semi-field efficacy of OmniPrene\u00ae G and Altosid\u00ae Pellets with DR-tech, both containing 4.25% S-methoprene, at 2.8 kg\/ha and 11.2 kg\/ha against the yellow fever mosquito <jats:italic>Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic> (L.) in outdoor microcosms. Both products performed equally in bioassays against the test species with comparable inhibition of emergence activities. In the semi-field study, the lower dose of Altosid Pellets at 2.8 kg\/ha, showed lower efficacy than OmniPrene G during the initial 6 weeks; this difference became negligible on week 7, followed by higher efficacy in Altosid Pellets on weeks 8 and 9. More uniform efficacy was observed at the higher dose of 11.2 kg\/ha. Equal performance was revealed during weeks 2 to 6, with the OmniPrene G outperforming the Altosid Pellets in week 1, but the opposite during weeks 7 to 9. Mortality patterns were similar in both products, i.e., majority of mortality occurred before emergence, although more incomplete emergence was noted in lower doses, particularly in Altosid Pellets. Overall, newly available OmniPrene G provided comparable activity and efficacy with Altosid Pellets against the test species, with the advantages of fast initial AI release and even coverage, particularly when applied at low doses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2987\/24-7186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T00:01:41Z","timestamp":1724976101000},"page":"162-168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["COMPARATIVE LABORATORY ACTIVITY AND SEMI-FIELD EFFICACY OF OMNIPRENE\u00ae G AND ALTOSID\u00ae PELLETS AGAINST AEDES AEGYPTI"],"prefix":"10.2987","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"SAMANTHA","family":"RAMIREZ-LACHMANN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Manatee County Mosquito Control District, 1420 28th Avenue East, Ellenton, FL 34222"},{"name":"Current affiliation: Valent BioSciences, Libertyville, IL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JACOB","family":"HART","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manatee County Mosquito Control District, 1420 28th Avenue East, Ellenton, FL 34222"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"TIANYUN","family":"SU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EcoZone International LLC, 7237 Boice Lane, Riverside, CA 92506"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARK","family":"LATHAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manatee County Mosquito Control District, 1420 28th Avenue East, Ellenton, FL 34222"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"CHRISTOPHER","family":"LESSER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manatee County Mosquito Control District, 1420 28th Avenue East, Ellenton, FL 34222"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1569","reference":[{"key":"i1943-6270-40-4-162-ref01","series-title":"J Econ Entomol","first-page":"265","article-title":"A method of computing the effectiveness of an insecticide","volume":"18","author":"Abbott","year":"1925","unstructured":"Abbott\n              WS.\n            \n          \n          1925.
