ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns materials and methods for the control of non-mammalian pests. In specific embodiments, the subject invention concerns materials and methods useful in the control of insects from the Order Homoptera. More specifically, the subject invention provides novel Bacillus thuringinesis (B.t.) isolates, or strains, toxins, and toxin-encoding genes that are useful for the control of homopterans. The strains HD969, PS66D3, and PS50C are specifically exemplified herein as yielding mortality against homopterans. In a preferred embodiment, the target pests are selected from the group consisting of leafhoppers and planthoppers.
