 PROFILE
Caterpillars afoot? Ecogen has a solution. Ecogen develops and sells biological insecticides that kill through the use of soil-based bacteria called "Bacillus thuringiensis" (Bt). Bt bacteria contain protein crystals that are deadly to certain insects but harmless to nontargeted insects, fish, birds, and mammals. Most of Ecogen's products kill caterpillars, but the company also has insecticides that kill beetles (RavenOil) and other pests. Ecogen's products are distributed by FMC, Hoechst Schering AgrEvo, and other companies worldwide. Ecogen's purchase of Mycogen's sprayable Bt business in 2000 gave Mycogen's parent Dow Chemical 11% of Ecogen, which has been delisted from Nasdaq.
