Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus is a mouthful.
It's a mouthful of tough to pronounce words for growers trying to use the novel tool and a mouthful of certain death for many Lepidopterans that consume it.
Nuclear Polyhedrosis Viruses aka NPVs are baculoviruses -- pathogens that attack insects and other arthropods.
With ever-increasing resistance to conventional synthetic pesticides, growers are searching for alternatives to help them control the pests that cause economic damage to their crops.
That's why we had Ben Arends, Market Development Specialist at AgBiTech, onto the #LeadersTalkCrops series of CropTalk podcast.
Just a taste of the knowledge that Ben drops:
- How growers can change their behavior and mindset to see the maximum impact when using NPVs for worm control. - The cost of using NPVs vs. traditional synthetic pesticides - What using NPVs can do to slow down the evolution of pesticide resistance
