Bacillus Thuringiensis Var Kurstaki

CFU : 1 x 10¹¹ per gm                    Formulation : Wettable Powder (WP)

Mode of Action

The Bt toxin gets dissolved in the insect gut having high pH and thus becomes active. The gut cells of the insect are attacked by these toxins which punch holes in the lining. The Bt spores germinate in the insect and spill out of the gut causing death of the insect. Though the insect doesn’t get killed by the toxins immediately, the treated portion of the plant doesn’t get damaged as the insect stops feeding within hours of the product application.

Benefits

Effective against all lepidopteran caterpillars including looper caterpillar.
