Delfin WG Bio Insecticide Technical Details
-
Technical Name: Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki (Btk)
-
Mode of Entry: Stomach poison

Mode of Action: When Btk is eaten by a susceptible larva, the toxin is released, the midgut wall is destroyed, the gut becomes paralyzed, and the larva stops feeding within a few minutes. Destruction of the midgut wall allows the bacteria to enter the blood of the target insect, causing full-scale infection and death of the insect.
