DiPel is the biological insecticide based on a naturally occurring compound Bacillus thuringiensis, subsp. Kurstaki. DiPel contains a balanced blend of five bacterial protein toxins and a spore, which enhance efficacy and assist in resistance management.

DiPel must be eaten to be effective. DiPel contains protein endotoxin crystals and living spores. Protein endotoxin is a selective stomach poison. Spores contribute to toxicity by causing blood poisoning and providing environmental persistence. a) Larvae ingest DiPel’s crystal proteins from treated leaves. b) Feeding stops within minutes after crystals are solubilized in the gut and gut cells are damaged. c) After toxin damage to gut, spores enter through gut wall and germinate rapidly in body cavity causing blood poisoning. d) Larvae stop feeding in as little as half an hour and die in 1-3 days.

Unsurpassed pest control for more than 200 different crops. Protection from over 55 species of worm (lepidopteran) pests without harming beneficial insects
