Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

The invention discloses a fluoro methoxylpyrazole-containing o-formylaminobenzamide compound shown as a structural formula (I) or agriculturally suitable salts thereof, a synthesis method and application thereof. The fluoro methoxylpyrazole-containing o-formylaminobenzamide compound has the advantages of effectiveness, low toxicity, low cost and environmental safety and can be used for preventingand removing various pests in the fields of agriculture and horticulture or pests parasitized on animals. The fluoro methoxylpyrazole-containing o-formylaminobenzamide compound has very high activityon lepidopteran pests (plutella xylostella, spodoptera exigua and cotton bollworm), hemipteran pests (black peach aphid and aphis craccivora koch), homopteran pests (nilaparvata lugens), dipteran pests (liriomyza trifolii) and leaf beetle pests (phaedon conchleariae). Particularly, good effect on the lepidopteran pests, the hemipteran pests and the dipteran pests can be achieved under the condition of low dosage of the compound.

Belonging to the field of biological control of pests, the invention discloses a Bacillus thuringiensis strain that has a broad spectrum and is highly effective on lepidoptera pests, preparation of its wettable powder and application. The Bacillus thuringiensis YX-1 strain involved in the invention is preserved in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, and the preservation number is CGMCC No. 5256. Containing a plurality of insecticidal genes, the strain has a highly effective lethal effect on Cydia molesta, cotton bollworm, fall webworms, Adoxophyes orana Fisher von Roslerstamm, Phalera flavescens Bremer et Grey, carpocapsa pomonella, prodenia litura, plutella xylostella, beet armyworm and other lepidoptera pests.

A method of producing a high-protein insect meal for use as a fish, shrimp and animal feed by providing a closed, environmentally controlled mass insect production facility into which are introduced one or more species of insects that are rich in protein and particularly suited for use in fish, shrimp and animal feeds. The insects can be chosen from, but not limited to, the orders of Blattodea, Orthoptera, Diptera, or Lepidoptera. Also, the chosen insects can be of the species moths, butterflies, flies, beetles and crickets. The insects are then fed a food source which can be vegetable, grain, plant, or animal components, and fish and animal wastes. Upon reaching the desired life stage, the insects are harvested and then processed into a dried protein meal.
