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.
