Trade and Other Names: Trade names include Acrobe, Bactospeine, Berliner (variety kurstaki), Certan (variety aizawai), Dipel, Javelin, Leptox, Novabac, Teknar (variety israelensis), Thuricide, and Victory. Bacillus thuringiensis is also known at B. T.
Description:
Appearance: The insecticidal action of B. T. Is attributed to protein crystals produced by the bacterium. The vegetative cells of B. T. Are approximately 1 micron wide and 5 microns long, and are motile. The commercial product contains about 2.5 X 10^11 viable spores per gram. B. T. Products lose some of their effectiveness when stored for more than 6 months. B. T. Is incompatible with alkaline materials. Formulated products are not compatible with captafol, dinocap, or, under some conditions, leaf (or foliar) nutrients.
Melting Point: Not Applicable.
Vapour Pressure: Not Applicable.
Stability: Water Solubility: Not Applicable. Solubility in Other Solvents: Not Applicable
Specification: 60000 IU/mg TC, 32000 IU/mg WP, 16000 IU/mg WP, 8000 IU/mg SC
Uses:
Bacillus thuringiensis (B. T. ) is a naturally-occurring soil bacterium that produces poisons which cause disease in insects. B. T. Is considered ideal for pest management because of its specificity to pests and because of its lack of toxicity to humans or the natural enemies of many crop pests. There are different strains of B. T., each with specific toxicity to particular types of insects: B. T. Aizawai (B. T. A. ) is used against wax moth larvae in honeycombs; B. T. Israelensis (B. T. I. ) is effective against mosquitoes, blackflies and some midges; B. T. Kurstaki (B. T. K. ) controls various types of lepidopterous insects, including the gypsy moth and cabbage looper. A newer strain, B. T. San diego, is effective against certain beetle species and the boll weevil. To be effective, B. T. Must be eaten by insects during their feeding stage of development, when they are larvae. B. T. Is ineffective against adult insects. More than 150 insects, mostly lepidopterous larvae, are known to be susceptible in some way to B. T.
