By September 1928 the vegetable parasite showed growth on inoculated beetle tissues and on sterilized rice, with spore spread methods yielding positive results.

Treatment notes on cane beetle control and fumigation effects
The report discusses fumigation methods for cane beetles with 1/4 cc injections and the impact on larvae and pupae. It notes eggs laid will still yield larvae killed soon after hatching, with summer-long effects. Comparisons are made to older methods used by Sugar Worean and prior work in Russia with paradichlorohenane.
