Organic insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis (BTK) – CP Jardin 20 g

This Bacillus thuringiensis insecticide CP Jardin is a natural, targeted solution against plant-eating caterpillars that devastate your fruit, vegetable, and tree crops. It works by ingestion and specifically targets lepidopteran larvae, such as:

  • Box tree moth 🐛
  • Pine processionary 🌲
  • Codling moth (apple or plum) 🍎

This product based on Bacillus thuringiensis (BTK), a micro-organism naturally present in the soil, causes caterpillars to stop feeding as soon as they ingest it, leading to their disappearance within a few days. It is safe for beneficial insects, humans, and the environment.

Benefits of Bacillus thuringiensis ✅

  • Targeted: acts only on harmful caterpillars (lepidopterans)
  • Respectful of beneficial wildlife: bees, ladybirds, etc.
  • Safe for humans and animals
  • Approved for organic farming
  • Effective on box tree moth, processionaries, codling moths…

How to use the Bacillus thuringiensis insecticide? 🧪

  • Standard dose: 1 g per liter of water (0.75 g/L for vines)
  • Partially fill the sprayer, dilute the powder in it, then top up with water
  • Shake well and spray evenly, especially on both sides of the leaves
  • Pre-harvest interval: 5 days

Use as soon as young caterpillars appear. Treatment is more effective when larvae are small. Shake the sprayer regularly to prevent the product from settling at the bottom.
