Solution

The correct option is C Species-specific narrow spectrum insecticidal applications
Baculoviruses are pathogens that attack insects and other arthropods. They can be used as biological control agents.They have been shown to have no negative impacts on plants, mammals, birds, fish or even on non-target insects. These viruses are excellent candidates for species-specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications. This is especially desirable when beneficial insects are being conserved to aid in an overall integrated pest management (IPM) programme, or when an ecologically sensitive area is being treated.
