EcoBio-Block S showed high inhibitory activity against mosquito emergence as well as a water-purifying effect. Chemical analysis and bioassay showed that EcoBio-Block S provides a high-performance CRS that controls the release of pyriproxyfen at low levels according to "zero order kinetics.", Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association 22(3), pp.451-456;2006}, pages = {451--456}, title = {Effectiveness in controlling mosquitoes with EcoBio-Block S - a novel integrated water purifying concrete block formulation combined with the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen}, volume = {22}, year = {2006} }
