3 Conclusion
This study will facilitate the research on
Bacillus
thuringiensis
in Bangladesh by providing valuable
information to find out diverse
Bt
strains those which
can be used in biotechnological purposes. The results
also suggest that the degree and spectrum of the
toxicity of indigenous
Bt
strains could be diverse to be
used as efficient weapons to fight the resistance
problems with pests.
