Abstract

Strategies for the use of entomopathogenic viruses in the management of forest insect pests include the use of viruses by themselves or with other biocontrol or chemical agents applied simultaneously or separately at strategic time intervals. It is concluded that baculoviruses (nuclear polyhedrosis and granulosis viruses) have considerable potential as components of integrated forest insect pest management systems. The prime limiting factors in their large scale use at present are the high cost of virus production and underdevelopment of application technology. Their greatest potential will probably be realized when used as an indirect, or preventative, strategy with a view to preventing the occurrence of pest emergency situations.

Résumé

L’auteur décrit diverses stratégies d’utilisation de virus entomopathogènes dans la lutte contre les insectes forestiers et traite de l’aspect économique de leur utilisation. Les stratégies incluent l’utilisation de virus seuls ou combinés à d’autres agents de régulations biologiques ou chimiques, appliqués simultanément ou séparément à intervalles stratégiques. Il conclut que les Baculovirus (virus de la polyédrose nucléaire et virus de la granulose) ont un potentiel considérable comme éléments de systèmes intégrés de lutte contre les ravageurs forestiers. Les principaux facteurs qui limitent leur utilisation à grande échelle sont actuellement le coût élevé de production des virus et le sous-développement des techniques d’application. Leur plus grand potentiel sera probablement réalisé par leur utilisation comme stratégie indirecte ou préventive pour prévenir les situations d’urgence causées par les ravageurs.
