"Nucleopolyhedrovirus ARE EXCELLENT CANDIDATES FOR SPECIES-SPECIFIC ,NARROW SPECTRUM INSECTICIDAL APPLICATIONS"????
REPLY FAST PLZZZ
- Nucleopolyhedrovirus viruses never act on non-target insects and hence they are species specific. That is, they attack the specific pest only. It kills only the kinds of insects it controls.
- It is really very helpful to manage the pests and conserve them. Most insect baculoviruses must be eaten by the host to produce an infection, which is typically fatal to the insect. It is called the biological control of insects or pests.
- This group of viruses is therefore considered safe and ecologically acceptable for use.
