ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns the use of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) endotoxins to control hemipteran insect pests. Specifically exemplified is B.t. strain 201T6, B.t. var. israelensis, and .delta.-endotoxins therefrom. These isolates and toxins can be administered to said pests, or to the environment of said pests, e.g., plants, to achieve control of the pests. A preferred embodiment is the transformation of plants to express the B.t. toxins.
