摘要

The present invention relates to a pesticidal composition comprising a Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticide in an ineffective amount for controlling a pest and a surfactant in an effective amount for potentiating the pesticidal activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticide for controlling the pest or for reducing the amount of the Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticide typically needed to be a commercially effective biopesticide.
