Microbial Control of the Tobacco Cutworm, Spodoptera litura (Fab.), Using S. litura Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus Ⅱ. Formulation of S. litura Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus as Viral Insecticides
담배거세미나방 핵다각체병바이러스에 섭식촉진물질, 다각체 침전방지제 및 전착물질과 자외선 차단제를 첨가하여 만든 3종의 바이러스 살충제를 담배거세미나방 유충에 먹여 제제별로 살충 효과를 비교하였다. 바이러스 살충제에 설탕농도 1-5% 첨가로 섭식촉진이 증대되어 살충효과가 높았으며, 바이러스의 불활화 차단효과도 있었다. 살충제 제형에 따른 바이러스 침전방지는 polyvinylalcohoI 0.5%, 식물체 전착성은 Triton X -100 0.1 %에서 효과가 좋았다. 자외선차단제의 양은 white carbon은 100 L 당 800 g, molasses는 30%첨가에서 바이러스의 불활화가 감소되었으며 white carbon-molasses 혼합제는 white carbon 500 g, molasses 10%의 비율에서는 살충효과가 약간 감소하였으나 세 제제 모두 살포 3일후 95%이상의 살충율을 보였다. White carbon 체제는 molasses 제제보다 다각체 포매가 뚜렷하여 잔류효과가 증대되었으나 유충의 섭식은 molasses제제에서 촉진되었다.
Three viral insecticides were differently formulated with a nuclear polyhedrosis virus isolated from Spdodoptera litura by addition of feeding attractant, anti-precipitate of polyhedra, spreading agent, and UV-protectants. Sucrose was effective for attraction of larval feeding to increase the mortality and for protection of polyhedra from inactivation by sunlight when added 1% to 5% of sucrose solution to the formulations. Contents of additives to the formulations were 0.5% in polyvinyl alcohol to prohibit the precipitation of polyhedra and 0.1% in Triton X-100 to spread and wet the formulations to the plant. Inactivation of the virus under sunlight was decreased when added 800g of white carbon to 100 L of water in the white carbon formulation and 30% of molasses to the molasses's. In the formulation of white carbon and molasses mixtures, activation of the virus was increased when mixtured 500g of the former with 10% of the latter. Three formulations were persisted their pathogenicity more than 95% of mortality at 3 days p.i. Encapsulation of the polyhedral surface was more distinctively coated with the carbon and showed more effective in the residual effects of the white carbon than others, but the molasses more attractive for larval feeding.
