Investigations were carried out to assess the efficacy of Maharastra isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis against lepidopteran insects viz., cabbage leaf webber, Diamond Back Moth and bioassays were also done to assess its safety to silkworm. Ten native isolates from Maharastra were bioassayed and these isolates revealed variations in the mortality.
