Description

Bacillus Thuringiensis is a naturally occurring, gram-positive soil bacterium renowned for its potent insecticidal properties. Its primary value lies in its production of proteinaceous crystal toxins (Cry and Cyt proteins) that are highly specific and lethal to target insect larvae upon ingestion, offering an effective biological pest control solution. This biopesticide is critically needed by the agricultural, forestry, and public health sectors seeking sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemical insecticides, aligning with integrated pest management (IPM) programs globally.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Targeted management of lepidopteran (caterpillars), coleopteran (beetles), and dipteran (flies, mosquitoes) pests in crops like corn, cotton, vegetables, and fruits.
• Forestry Protection: Control of defoliating caterpillars, such as gypsy moths and spruce budworms, in forest ecosystems.
• Mosquito and Black Fly Abatement: Larvicidal applications in water bodies for controlling vectors of diseases like malaria and dengue fever.
• Organic Farming: A cornerstone product for certified organic agriculture due to its natural origin and specificity.
• Stored Product Protection: Protection of grains and other stored commodities from insect infestation.
• Home and Garden Use: Formulated for safe use in residential gardens and landscapes.
• Turf and Ornamental Management: Control of pests on golf courses, lawns, and ornamental plants.

Quality Control

Our Bacillus Thuringiensis products are manufactured and tested under stringent quality systems to ensure consistent potency, purity, and viability. Quality parameters typically include spore count, potency bioassay against standard insects, and purity from contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request. Production adheres to relevant agricultural and biological standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures recommended for the specific formulation (typically 4-15°C for long-term stability of live spores). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); protect from high humidity and moisture to maintain product integrity and shelf life.
