ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns the discovery ofBacillus thuringiensisisolates with advantageous activity against weevils. In preferred embodiments of the invention,B.t.isolates, or toxins therefrom, are used to control alfalfa weevils, boll weevils, and/or rice water weevils. The toxins can be administered to the pests through a variety of methods including the transformation of bacteria or plants to produce the weevil-active toxins.
