What Does BTI Stand For?

BTI stands for Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis

BTI, or Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis, is a naturally occurring soil bacterium known for its insecticidal properties. It produces proteins toxic to certain larvae, particularly in mosquito species, making it an effective biological control agent in pest management. BTI is widely used in agricultural and ecological settings to reduce the population of disease-carrying mosquitoes while minimizing the impact on non-target organisms and the environment.
