Abstract: The barly wirew orm Agriotes fuscicol lis is a kind of underground pest, and dist ributed in most area of North China. Up to date, Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt) as a microbiological pest icide was widely used to control many kinds of agriculture pests. It was mainly used to kill larvas of Lepidoptera. In this paper, Bt suspension was used to control Agriotes fuscicoll is. The strong larvas of Agriotes fuscicoll is were put in toxic soil in glass bottle (200g soil contains 5 mL, 715 mL and 10mL Bt suspension, respect ively ). In 48-96h the most larvas died. T he young erlarvas were more susceptible than older ones. We consider that Bt agent might be an effective microbiological pesticide to control Agriotes fuscicoll is as well as other underground agriculture pests.

Key words: Bacillus thur ingiensis , Agriotes fuscicoll is Miwa, Biological control
