What is Microbial Insecticides Overview about?

The document discusses microbial insecticides, specifically Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). It notes that Bt is a naturally occurring soil bacteria that produces toxins lethal to certain caterpillar pests when ingested, but is nontoxic to humans. While Bt offers effective and safe control of many insect pests, its use requires properly identifying the target pest and understanding limitations like narrow pest range, vulnerability to UV light, and non-persistence in the environment.
