The first commercial product that appeared in 1938 for use against lepi-dopterous larvae was Sporeine, which was produced by several companies. Names of other old products are Dipel WP, a wettable powder, and Dipel LC, a liquid concentrate used for aerial low-volume application. The Bf-based microbial pesticides have so far been the most successful biopesticides. The rapid growth of Bt-based pesticides is occurring as replacements of chemicals that were banned or phased out in environmentally sensitive areas, in consumer and export markets in which concerns about food residue are high, and in organic food production. The current sales are at least 140 million. Today the commercial products are based on various strains of the more than 26 different subspecies.
