Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki is also called BTK . It is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that has been used in agriculture as a Biopesticide for over 50 years. This bacterium produces a protein crystal that is toxic to certain insects, including caterpillars, beetles, and flies. When sprayed on crops, the protein crystal is ingested by the insects, causing them to stop feeding and eventually die. Bt kurstaki is particularly effective against the larvae of many moth and butterfly species, making it a valuable tool for controlling pests in crops such as corn, cotton, and vegetables. Its use as a biological pesticide is considered safe for humans, animals, and the environment, making it a popular alternative to chemical pesticides. We also supply other bacillus thuringiensis products and Plant Growth Regulators ,Biostimulants,Humic Acid ect.

1. Pest control: Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki is a natural insecticide that specifically targets and kills caterpillars, such as cabbage loopers, tomato hornworms, and gypsy moth larvae. By controlling these pests, plants are less likely to suffer damage and yield loss.
What will plants benefit from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki BTK ?
2. Environmentally friendly: Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. It does not harm beneficial insects, birds, or mammals, making it a preferred option for organic and sustainable farming practices.
3. Increased plant health: By reducing the population of harmful caterpillars, plants treated with Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki are less stressed and more likely to thrive. This can lead to improved growth, vigor, and overall health of the plant.
4. Cost-effective: Using Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki as a pest control method can be cost-effective in the long run. While initial costs may be higher than chemical pesticides, the long-term benefits of reduced pest damage and increased plant health can outweigh the investment.
5. Reduced chemical exposure: By using Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki instead of chemical pesticides, plants are exposed to fewer harmful chemicals. This can help maintain a healthier ecosystem in the soil and surrounding environment, as well as reduce the risk of pesticide residues on the plant itself.
