Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis has proven to be a valuable alternative to conventional insecticides. The use of Bacillus thuringiensis as a microbial insecticide offers advantages over chemical control agents in that the species-specific action of its insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) makes it harmless to non-target insects, to vertebrates, to the environment and to the user. Because of increasing pressure to reduce the use of chemical insecticides, the industrial effort to develop improved B. thuringiensis products is increasing.
