No, it doesn't affect plum curculio. The milky disease marketed as Milky
Spore is very specific against Japanese Beetle grubs. Close relatives of
the fungus are effective against some other lawn grub, and even the Milky
Spore variety can provide control of June Bugs and Oriental Beetles. But
most creatures, including curculio, are unaffected.

I recently read an article about Milky Spore being used to kill Japanese

Beetle larva in soil. Is there a half a possibility that it would kill Plum

Curcullio too?
