BioSafe Systems BT NOW Biological Insecticide

BT NOW is a water-based biological insecticide using Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki strain EVB-113-19 for targeted control of the caterpillars of certain moths and butterflies on a wide variety of crops. Ingestion paralyzes the larval digestive system within hours, stopping further crop damage, and affected larvae die within 2 to 5 days.

The Btk cry toxins bind to receptors in the caterpillar gut and halt feeding, after which spores enter the body and proliferate. BT NOW pairs well with Trichogramma releases in caterpillar management programs and controls caterpillars without harmful residue.
