Dipel Pro DF

DiPel® PRO DF contains the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis v. kurstaki or Btk. It is a dry, flowable formulation which is dust-free. DiPel® DF is registered to control most Lepidopteran (caterpillar) insects on fruits, citrus, tropical fruits, vegetables, grains, bulbs, flowers, herbs, turf, ornamental trees and shrubs.
