Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Nucleopolyhydroviruses are used as biological control agent specific to some insects. Most of Baculoviruses belongs to the genus nucleopolyhedro virus. These viruses are excellent candidate for species- specific narrow spectrum insecticidal application. They do not have negative impact on either plant, animal, bird or non-target insect, so can be conserved in IPM (Integrated Pest Management program).
