1. How It Works
Thuricide, or BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis), is a naturally occurring bacterium that’s been used since the 1920s to control various pests. This bacterium was first discovered in a German town in 1911, where it was found to be deadly to the Mediterranean flour moth. The bacteria work by multiplying in the gut of the insect after being ingested, causing the insect to die quickly.
2. Usage
Spray directly on leaves. May be used up to the day of harvest.
3. Targeting Specific Pests
With its unique mode of action, Thuricide is an excellent choice when dealing with leaf-eating insects. It targets pests like caterpillars, gypsy moths, webworms, leaf rollers, and canker worms, making it a reliable tool in maintaining the health of your plants. Whether you’re growing fruit, vegetables, or nuts, in a garden or a greenhouse, Thuricide can help keep your plants pest-free.
