Sumitomo Dipel L Organic is a biological insecticide that controls a wide range of caterpillar pests on vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and other crops. It is made from a naturally occurring bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which produces a protein that is toxic to caterpillars. When caterpillars eat leaves or stems that have been treated with Dipel L Organic, the Bt protein binds to their gut lining and kills them.
Dipel L Organic is a safe and effective way to control caterpillar pests without harming beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies. It is also OMRI-listed for use in organic farming.
