Accepted 5 February 2011) This study was aimed at the large scale production and application of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) biopesticide in Bangladesh agriculture from locally available cheap raw materials. B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 (reference strain) and two other indigenous isolates of B. thuringiensis namely Bt-Soil-47 and Bt-Insect-1i demonstrated satisfactory growth of sporulation and endotoxin production in a medium prepared from de-fatted mustard-seed meal (oil cake) as

This paper addresses two questions. First‚ why have firms become more diversified over the past century? And second‚ why are diversified firms more oriented toward research and development (R&D) than nondiversified firms? I tackle these two questions under the assumption that a firm diversifies to maximize its efficiency
