How to use Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to Control Insect Pests

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a natural microbial insecticide that can control many kinds of insects. Read now on Gardener’s Path for tips on using Bt.

gardenerspath.com

@InTheShed heres some reading on Different BT uses
How Does Bt Kill Insects?
Bt will only kill insects that eat the toxin and are susceptible to it. This is not a toxin that will kill on contact like most insecticides.

Once eaten, the toxin affects a specific switch in the stomach – like a lock and a key. This switch (a receptor) activates a reaction that makes holes in the stomach.

The contents, including the toxin and normal gut bacteria, spill out into the rest of the insect’s body, and it dies of infection and starvation.

It can take the insect hours or days to die. Typically, the insect remains on the plant as it is dying, so don’t be alarmed if there are still insects on your plants even after treatment. They are probably on their deathbeds.

The insects are usually the most susceptible when the larvae are small.

How to Kill Caterpillars With Bt
Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk) is the best known and most widely used strain of Bt. It kills the larvae of many types of moths and butterflies.
You might already have this knowledge on BT but I thought it was interesting and I wanted to share

I don't spray it anywhere but on the cannabis plants so I don't worry too much about its effects on the rest of the ecosystem. The moths and butterflies have many other places to reproduce!

No that's cool I just noticed the different strains and thought it was a good read i learned something new and thought id share that's all its up to you how and where you apply it i did notice uv kills it and you need to reapply

The only reason i summoned and thought of you was because you have been the only one to bring up BT I've used it to but just for mosquitoes

That would be BTi. What's commonly called BT is actually BTk (the k is not for "katerpillars"!), where the mosquito dunks are specifically called BTi.

Katepillars . Ok, i got the dunks and i had a small bottle of i thought was BT i used to put in in my hydro res for fungus gnats and dunks i used outside in our rain barrels which I dont have the barrels any more ive been researching new rain barrels,This Old House had a good rain barrel set up I was interested in. Kinda expensive though we got 5 gutters and downspouts on the house it would be pretty expensive to set there system up on those. But i didn't know the difference back then so i probably had the wrong shit for the gnats!
