A baculovirus, belonging to the group Nucleopolyhedrosis Vims (flytaNPV), which has been identified and characterized that infects Hyposidra talaca larvae is a major tea pest in NE-India. A semi-synthetic artificial diet was developed for mass rearing H. talaca, using dried powders of tea leaf and seeds, along with other ingredients. The artificial diet successfully completed the life cycle and was comparable to the natural diet in terms of growth, development, and egg laying. The prepared semi synthetic artificial diet is ample enough for mass culture of H. talaca, to shore up one of the IPM component using the baculovirus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
