Bacillus thuringiensis, commonly known as Bt, is a naturally occurring bacterium used as an effective bio-insecticide, offering an eco-friendly solution to pest control. Manufactured by Peptech Biosciences, Bt produces proteins that are toxic to certain insects, making it an essential tool in agricultural pest management. Its selective action targets harmful pests like caterpillars and larvae while being safe for humans, animals, and beneficial insects. As a biological pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis plays a crucial role in reducing the need for chemical pesticides, promoting sustainable farming practices, and improving crop yields.
