DiPel® is a biological insecticide containing the naturally occurring microorganism Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki (Btk) targeting lepidopteran larvae.
Globally, DiPel® has become a cornerstone insecticide in many IPM programs as it offers high quality, cost-effective, broad-spectrum caterpillar control on more than 200 crops.
The active ingredient in DiPel® consists of an optimized blend of four potent Bt protein toxins and a spore. Many other Bt strains lack the volume and balance of Bt toxin proteins that DiPel® delivers.
Has no effect on Sawfly larvae, so correct identification of caterpillars vs. sawflies is imperative.
