Conteúdo: | Sustainable agriculture requires alternative interventions for pest control and management. In this context the use of microorganisms pathogenic to pests has become even more studied and widespread, especially in the successful case of bioinsecticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis. With advances in recombinant DNA biotechnology, B. thuringiensis has continued to show its potential with the insertion of its insecticide-encoding genes into plants, which thus become resistant to a varied range of pest insects. These Bt plants, often containing multiple Bt genes, are commercially available. And today, after assessing biosafety in several countries around the world, they are adequate to control pests without significant harm to humans or to the environment. If the required safety conditions are maintained, a greater use of these plants is anticipated, guaranteeing an effective tool for an environmentally friendly agriculture.
