DiPel® is the leading biological insecticide worldwide for the control of lepidopteran larvae. DiPel is specially prepared dryflowable formulations containing live spores and endotoxin of naturally occurring bacterium (Bt), Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki in the case of DiPel and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp.

Bts (Bacillus thuringiensis) are naturally occurring bacterium commonly found in soil. Certain strains infect and kill insects. These strains have been developed for use as biological insecticides.

DiPel stops caterpillar damage very quickly; larvae will stop feeding within one hour of ingesting a lethal dose of DiPel. DiPel must be applied to the foliar portions of the plant where the insect feeds. Once DiPel is dried on the leaf, it becomes rainfast. When ingested, DiPel cry proteins bind to the midgut of pest larvae and cause cell death, inhibiting further insect feeding just one hour after a lethal dose.

DiPel is certified for use in organic crop production systems

DiPel is not transgenic or genetically modified

DiPel is non-toxic to pollinators and other beneficial insects.
