DiPel DF

DiPel DF contains a naturally occurring bacterial pathogen of caterpillars, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) var Kurstaki.

Caterpillars ingest the bacteria on treated foliage, stop feeding within 1 hour and die 24-72 hours later. The efficacy of DiPel DF against young caterpillars is similar to that of conventional insecticides.

Features of DiPel DF:

• Specific activity against Lepidopteran caterpillars
• Harmless to natural predators and parasites
• Ideal for use in IPM programs
• Non-toxic to birds and mammals
• Biodegradable and leaves no residue
• Approved for a wide range of crops
• Zero harvest interval
• No resistance
