Nucleopolyhedrosis virus (NPV) is an entomopathogenic virus which can destroy larval stage of insects of the order Lepidoptera. Due to its highly specific effect on the insect pest target and safe for human, beneficial insects and environment, NPV has been used for insect pest control as a microbial insecticide for over 30 years.
