摘要

Bacillus thuringiensis products are not new, but there are new reasons for using them.IUST BECAUSE A PRODUCT is old does not mean it's no longer a fit. University of California (UC) Cooperative Extension IPM Advisor Jhalendra Rijal thinks Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can play an important role in controlling peach twig borer (PTB) and navel orangeworm (NOW) in almonds by integrating this product into a pest management program.Regulators, buyers, consumers: All are clamoring for softer products, a fit for Bts.
