a nucleopolyhedrovirus, which has been tested in Tanzania. The virus attacks the worms every year, but usually occurs too late in their outbreak cycle to prevent serious crop damage.
This includes building a processing plant to produce an experimental biological control agent, a nucleopolyhedrovirus,
which make use of so-called entomopathogenic viruses that are harmful to insects in particular the baculovirus.
And the winner is#the granulosis virus or granulovirus which appears to be the most widespread.
%Slow action#Pulverised on the surface of potatoes or the eggs of the invasive species the granulovirus contaminates the larvae through ingestion.
Another advantage of baculoviruses is that they are innocuous to man vertebrae and plants. Moreover each viral strain attacks a very limited number of insect species. This host specificity means that the Guatemalan potato moth can be targeted
