Hello,
Nucleopolyhedrovirus is a genus of baculoviruses used as biological control agents.
They are considered to be good bio-control agents because
- They act with high precision on many serious arthropod pests.
- They do not harm or kill the plants, mammals.
- These viruses are very good candidate for species- specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications.
Hope this helps!!!
Thank you.
