A total of 23 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were isolated from the naturally infected sweet potato weevil (SPW). Characterization of the strains revealed five types of crystal protein such as: Cry IA, Cry IA/Cry IB, Cry IA/Cry ID?, Cry IIIX and SDSCPS. Test on the efficacy of the representative strains was done through dipassay. All of the 6 representative B.t. strains showed certain level of toxicity. Cry IA/Cry IB gave the highest percent mortality followed by Cry IA/Cry IB. Whereas, Cry IA gave the lowest percent mortality. Confirmation on the toxicity or insecticidal activity of the different strains will be done
