Mode of Action

• Bacillus thuringiensis infects insect species of the orders Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleopteran etc by releasing Cry proteins which when inserted into the insect gut cell membrane, paralyzes the digestive tract and forming pores in microvilli of apical membranes.
• Subsequently cell lyses and disruption of the midgut epithelium release the cell contents providing spores a germinating medium leading to a severe septicemia and insect straves to death.

Benefits

• Effective against all Lepidopteran caterpillars
