A native variant of Chrysodeixis chalcites nucleopolyhedrovirus: The basis for a promising bioinsecticide for control of C. chalcites on Canary Islands’ banana crops
2013-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Chrysodeixis chalcites (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae cause up to 30% production loss in banana crops in the Canary Islands. Larvae of this species are susceptible to a nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChchNPV). This study aimed at evaluating the genetic diversity and bioinsecticidal activity of ChchNPV isolates collected from C. chalcites larvae in the Canary Islands. From a total 97 isolates collected in different banana...
