Bt squash is a genetically modified variety of squash that has been engineered to express a protein from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). This protein acts as an insecticide, providing resistance against specific pests, such as the cucumber beetle, which can damage squash crops. The cultivation of Bt squash aims to reduce the need for chemical pesticides, promoting a more sustainable approach to farming. This modification has raised discussions on biotechnology, food safety, and environmental impacts.

Does thuricide kill squash bugs?

Thuricide, which contains the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), is effective against certain caterpillar pests but does not specifically target squash bugs. Squash bugs are not susceptible to Bt, so using Thuricide will not kill them. For managing squash bugs, other insecticides or organic methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, may be more effective.
