| Commercial formulations of Bacillus
thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki (Btk) have been used
as a tool for the control of forest caterpillar pests since the mid-70’s.
DiPel 8L and Foray 48B DiPel 8L and Foray 48B are bio-rational insecticides containing the spores and crystalline proteins produced by the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki, commonly known as B.t. or Btk. Btk is considered “friendly” to human beings as well as to other species of animals. Btk has specific activity only against susceptible caterpillars. DiPel 8L’s and Foray 48B’s inert ingredients, which include various carriers, suspensions agents, and stabilizers are classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as inert ingredients of minimal toxicological concern to non target organisms and the environment. As Btk exhibits a unique insecticidal activity specific to caterpillars and because the inert ingredients are innocuous, DiPel 8L and Foray 48B do not exhibit any of the hazards often associated with chemical insecticides. DiPel 8L and Foray 48B are very effective and are considered environmentally friendly. |
