    UV PROTECTION AND SHELF LIFE STUDIES OF HaNPV
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-06-14) KHARVIND, KIRAN SHIVNANDAN.; SATPUTE, Dr. N. S.
    The present investigation was undertaken to study the “UV protection and shelf life studies of HaNPV” under laboratory conditions during the year 2017-18 in Bio-control laboratory, Department of Agricultural Entomology, PGI, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Efforts were made to find effect of UV light on Virulence of HaNPV and to find out effective UV protectant for HaNPV. The viability of HaNPV was recorded by taking the POB count under the microscope after every 15 min exposure to UV source of 15 W 54 volts UV light in a UV chamber under the laboratory conditions. The results revealed reduction in POB activity up to 50.71, 59.86, 64.79, 71.84% after 15, 30, 45 and 60 min of UV exposure, respectively. The Mortality data on Helicoverpa larvae recorded at 7th day after treatment revealed 69.44, 66.66, 50.00 and 58.33% larval mortality by HaNPV after 15,30,45 and 60 exposures to UV rays, indicating 30.6, 33.34, 50.00 and 41.67% reduction in mortality as compared to initial HaNPV sample. Out of the nine plant extracts screened for their UV protection property, Ashwagandha, Mango, Eucalyptus and Aonla leaf extract were found effective recording less reduction in POBs and increased Helicoverpa mortality. The shelf life of HaNPV kept under laboratory condition was assessed after every month for a period of 6 months and the data revealed reduction in POBs as the initial count of 1.42 × 109 POBs/ml was reduced down to 1.02 × 109 POBs/ml after six months period indicating 28.17% reduction in sole HaNPV sample.
