Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis powder 25 Kg Drum

Product Name:

Bt-I ProControl - Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis Larvicide Concentrate

Cfu Cells/Gram:

Minimum 2 x 10^8 (200 Million) viable spores and crystal toxins per gram | High Potency (ITU ≥ 7000 IU/mg).

Base:

Formulated for maximum dispersion and efficacy in aquatic environments:

• Wettable Powder (WP) / Water Dispersible Granule (WDG): For suspension in large-volume water treatments.

Benefits:

• Targeted Mosquito & Black Fly Control: Specifically lethal to larvae of mosquitoes, black flies, and fungus gnats by targeting their unique gut chemistry.

• Natural Bio-Larvicide: Produces protein crystals (Cry and Cyt toxins) that, when ingested, rupture the larval gut lining, causing rapid death.

• Safe for Non-Target Organisms: Proven safe for fish, aquatic plants, beneficial insects, mammals, and humans. Ideal for use in sensitive environments.

• No Chemical Resistance: An essential tool for Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) programs to prevent resistance to chemical insecticides.

• Environmentally Friendly: Biodegradable, leaves no toxic residue in water bodies, and is approved for organic and public health use.

Suggested For Use:

Ideal for large-scale control of disease-carrying insect larvae in:

• Public Health: Municipal mosquito control programs, malaria/dengue prevention campaigns.

• Agriculture: Rice fields, irrigation canals, drainage ditches.

• Aquaculture & Water Bodies: Fish farms, ornamental ponds, stored water tanks.

• Wastewater & Sanitation: Sewage treatment areas, septic tanks.

Application Dosage:

• Standard Application Rate: Apply 100 - 500 grams per acre-foot of water (volume of water 1 foot deep over 1 acre), depending on larval density and target species.

• Mixing Instructions: Pre-mix the required amount of powder in a small volume of clean water to form a slurry, then dilute into the final spray tank or apply directly.

• Method: Apply uniformly via knapsack sprayer, power sprayer, or aerial application over standing water bodies with larval breeding sites.

Soil Application Dosage:

• Not for soil application. This is a specific aquatic larvicide.

Note (for 25 Kg Drum Users):

• Professional Use: This 25 Kg bulk drum is designed for municipal, agricultural cooperative, or large-contract use.

• Calibration Required: Always calibrate application equipment based on water volume, not just area.

• Timing is Critical: Apply when larval stages (1st-4th instar) are present for maximum efficacy. Re-treatment may be necessary every 7-14 days depending on breeding cycles.

• Storage: Keep drum tightly sealed in a cool, dry warehouse. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Safety: Use standard PPE (mask, gloves) during handling to avoid inhalation of powder.
