Abstract
Methods of biological control of agricultural insect pests are disclosed. These methods utilize biological control agents which are genetically altered strains of root-colonizing strains of members of the species P. cepacia. These strains are genetically altered by introduction of genes encoding insect toxic crystal proteins, and are thereby rendered insect toxic. Genetically altered insect toxic bacterial strains are also provided.
