The present invention relates to a composition for controlling insect pest comprising microencapsulation-based spray drying formulation of Btk IMBL-B9 as an active ingredient. Specifically, when a microencapsulation-based spray drying formulation was prepared targeting Btk IMBL-B9 (Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki IMBL-B9), it improves the spore-crystal complex stability to increase the spore survival rate and enhance the storage stability as compared with the non-encapsulated spray drying formulation. In addition, the encapsulated spray drying formulation of Btk IMBL-B9 was verified to have excellent insecticidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda and Plutella xylostella, and can be used more effectively to prevent or control the insect pests.
