New Delhi [India], March 24: Peptech Biosciences Ltd. announced the successful acquisition of technology from the National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources (NBAIR), India. This groundbreaking technology focuses on the development of a Liquid Formulation of indigenous toxic strains of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Field trials conducted by NBAIR have demonstrated the remarkable efficacy of this technology. Foliar sprays of Bacillus thuringiensis NBAIR BtG4 at a 2% concentration resulted in a significant reduction in pod damage in pigeon pea. Concurrently, this treatment led to a substantial increase in grain yield, highlighting the technology's potential to enhance crop productivity while minimizing environmental impact. The microbe is a Bio-pesticide with a high level of toxicity against H. armigera, P. xylostella, Chilo partellus, Sesamia inferens, Leucinodes orbonalis, and other Lepidopteran pests affecting pulses, vegetables, and oilseeds.
