Name a genus of baculovirus. Why are they considered good biocontrol agents? [2]

Answer 1

Nucleopolyhedrovirus is a genus of baculovirus which are efficient bio-control agents. [1]
They are considered to be good bio-control agents because these viruses are excellent candidates for species-specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications and show no negative impacts on plants, mammals, birds or even non-target insects. [1]
