| Abstract: | Spilarctia obliqua nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SoNPV) has been found
effective against S. obliqua (Walker)
as well as Porthesia xanthorrhoea
Kollar. LC50 concentration of S.
obliqua SoNPV against S. obliqua and P. xanthorrhoea was 2.5×104 and 3.7×104 POBs/ml, respectively. LT50
of SoNPV against S. obliqua was 5.73
days, while it was 6.98 days for P.
xanthorrhoea. Cross infectivity of SoNPV against P. xanthorrhoea and ease of its mass production may make it an
ideal biopesticide. |
