Aerial application of nucleopolyhedrovirus induces decline in increasing and peaking populations of Neodiprion abietis

2005-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The potential role of diseases in generating population cycles has often been advocated but has received little experimental support from the field. We introduced a nucleopolyhedrovirus (NeabNPV) into field populations of Neodiprion abietis (Harris), the balsam fir sawfly, to determine its role in the collapse of outbreaks and examine its potential for biological control. This was accomplished through the use of a...
