Explore how certain microbes such as Bt, baculovirus, and Trichoderma are used as biocontrol agents to manage pests naturally. Learn about their mechanisms and applications in agriculture.
Bacillus thuringiensis produces toxins that kill butterfly caterpillars, making it a biocontrol agent.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Trichoderma is a fungal biocontrol agent used to suppress plant pathogens.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis produces toxins that act as natural insecticides.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus sphaericus is used as a biocontrol agent to target mosquito larvae.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis produces Bt toxin in an inactive form, which becomes active in the insect gut.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis produces an inactive form of the toxin, which becomes active inside the insect's gut.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis produces toxins that kill caterpillars and is used as a biopesticide.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis produces Bt toxin, which is used in genetically modified crops for insect resistance.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produces toxins that kill insect larvae and is used as a biopesticide.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bt toxin is activated in the alkaline gut of insect larvae, not in an acidic environment.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Bacillus thuringiensis produces an inactive form of Bt toxin that becomes active in the insect's alkaline gut.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 8: Microbes in Human Welfare Microbes as Biocontrol Agents - Bt Baculovirus Trichoderma
Trichoderma is a fungus that acts as a biocontrol agent against soil-borne fungal pathogens.
