Identifying novel biocontrol agents and developing new strategies are urgent goals in insect pest biocontrol. Ascoviruses are potential competent insect viruses that may be developed into bioinsecticides, but this aim is impeded by their poor oral infectivity. To improve theper osinfectivity of ascovirus,Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki(Btk) was employed as a helper to damage the midgut of lepidopteran larvae (Helicoverpa armigera,Mythimna separata,Spodoptera frugiperda, andS. litura) in formulations withHeliothis virescens ascovirusisolates (HvAV‐3h and HvAV‐3j).Btkand ascovirus mixtures (Btk/HvAV‐3h andBtk/HvAV‐3j) were fed to insect larvae (3rd instar). With the exception ofS. frugiperdalarvae, which exhibited low mortality after ingestingBtk, the larvae of the other tested species showed three types of response to feeding on the formulas: type I, the tested larvae (H. armigera) were killed byBtkinfection so quickly that insufficient time and resources remained for ascoviral invasion; type II, bothBtkand the ascovirus were depleted by their competition, such that neither was successfully released or colonized the tissue; type III,Btkwas eliminated by the ascovirus, and the ascovirus achieved systemic infection in the tested larvae. The feeding ofBtk/ascovirus formulas led to a great reduction in larval diet consumption and resulted in a significant decrease in the emergence rate ofH. armigera,M. separata, andS. lituralarvae, which suggested that the formulas exerted marked oral control effects on both the contemporary individuals and the next generation of these tested pest species.
