  • Improved Growth and Economic Traits

  • Low evidence
  • Animal Study

  For the larvae that survived until pupation, we determined the growth characters cocooning ratio, larval weight, and pupation ratio, and the economic characters cocoon shell weight and cocoon weight. Growth characters were significantly lower in larvae infected with BmNPV as compared to infected larvae receiving probiotics.
