PRODUCT FORMULATION

Product active agent is bacterial spores and protein crystalls (delta-endotoxin) of Bacillus  thuringiensis var. kurstaki. Inert fillers provide product integrity, flowability, adhesiveness and stability.
During first 4 hours after ingestion, contained in the product protein toxin causes general paralysis of insect alimentary tract. Later, during 12-24 hours, general bacterial hematosepsis develops in insect.
By sufficient dose, caterpillars stop feeding, moving, change their colour, shrievel, turn black and die within 3-7 days.
Sublethal doses provoke metamorphosis disturbance, lowering of reproductive performance and viability of next generations.
