Selectivity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) to the polyphagous predator Ceraeochrysa claveri (Navás, 1911) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Abstract

Bioinsecticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) comprise approximately 75% of the products in the global biological controllers' market (Rao & Jurat-Fuentes, 2020). These products are considered a sustainable alternative to chemical insecticides since the environmental constrains are lower than the broad-spectrum pesticides
