XenTari®
XenTari® is the world’s only biological insecticide containing a natural, potent strain (ABTS-1857) of the microorganism Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies aizawai (Bta). It controls caterpillar pests on vegetables, fruits, nuts, row crops, and turf (specific registrations vary by country). XenTari is proven to provide exceptional control of key problem pests such as armyworms and diamondback moth larvae. As a native Bt strain, XenTari contains insecticidal toxin proteins that are typically found in other Bt subspecies (typical Bta and Btk). XenTari features a balanced blend of four potent toxin proteins and a spore, targeting key pests at levels few biological products can match.
