What is Thuringia Bacillus?
The Thuringian bacillus, with a scientific name Bacillus thuringiensis, are microorganisms (bacteria) that we find in the soil and is a natural enemy of some important insects in agriculture and gardening. It is widely used by both organic and conventional growers for ecological treatment of entomological infestations in various plants.
Thuringia bacillus produces spores and protein crystals, which are digested by caterpillars. After a few hours, after the caterpillars digest the bacillus bacterium, they stop eating and die of starvation within 2-3 days.
What enemies is he fighting?
Fights insect larvae. Very effective for leaf-eating caterpillars (cabbage) in cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. It is also very effective against ants in ornamental and flowering plants. It is also recommended as a preventative and sedative to control tomato paste (Absolutely all). It is also effective in treating the caterpillar in fruit trees such as apricots, peaches, plums, cherries, but also in roses and other ornamental plants.
In what forms is there in the trade and how do you apply it?
It is marketed either as a powder for dusting on leaves and fruits, or as a wet seed, or as a liquid for spraying plants. Frequent repetitions of the application of Thuringia bacillus, every 7-10 days on the plants, is a very important case to work effectively in the treatment of the caterpillar.
What is the residue in my plants?
As Thuringia bacillus is a biological insecticide, when applied to vegetables, its use is allowed even on the day of harvest, as it has no toxicity.
Therefore, bacillus is a necessary "weapon" to cultivate organic and effectively in our garden.
