Ecobac-1 (EC): Emulsified concentrate Bacillus thuringiensis for controlling bagworm outbreak by aerial spraying

Introduction : Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a gram-positive bacterium that upon sporulation produces a protein crystal toxic to certain pest insects. Strains of B. thuringiensis that affect the larvae of insects in Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and other orders have been identified. Unlike most chemical insecticides, Bt are very target specific, safe to non-target organisms, and their residues do not persist in the environment
