[Display omitted] •Indigenous Bt isolates were screened for bioinsecticidal activity against H. serrata.•Bt isolate UASB Bt11 showed the highest toxicity, with 100 % I-instar mortality within one day after treatment (DAT). II and III instar mortality rates ranged from 0 to 66.70 % at 15 DAT and 0 an...
