Product type
Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) is a naturally occurring bacterium that serves as a biological pesticide. It produces proteins that are toxic to certain insect larvae, making it an effective tool for pest control in agriculture. Bt is typically formulated as a powder or liquid and is applied to crops to protect them from pests while minimizing harm to beneficial insects and the environment.
| Formulation type | Liquid or powder |
| Active ingredient concentration | Typically 1% to 10% |
| Target pests | Lepidopteran larvae, some beetles, and mosquitoes |
| Application method | Foliar spray, soil drench, or granules |
| Shelf life | 6 months to 2 years depending on storage conditions |
When selecting Bacillus Thuringiensis, consider the specific pest you are targeting, as different strains are effective against different insects. It's important to specify the formulation type and concentration when requesting a quote. Additionally, inquire about the shelf life and storage requirements to ensure product efficacy. Certifications for organic use may also be relevant depending on your farming practices.
