Becker Microbial Products also financed the construction of a 20,000 liter fermentation pilot plant in Israel. This plant was instrumental in the development of fermentation and formulation technology that is state of the art and is as good as or better than that being employed by the leading manufacturers of BT in the United States.
All Becker products are produced from two strains of Bacillus thuringiensis. These are B. thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki strain BMP 123 and Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis strain BMP 144.
