Lightbrown apple moth (LBAM) is a serious pest of many horticultural crops in Australia, costing the economy about $21 M pa. Methods for controlling LBAM have relied on the use of insecticides. However, the pest has developed resistance to a wide range of chemicals used against it. This proposal aims to assess the potential of the EppoMNPV polyhedrosis virus as an alternative to insecticides for its control. Successful development of the virus will provide an environmentally benign alternative to insecticides that can be used to control LBAM in a range of different circumstances including broadacre and organic production.

苹果褐飞蛾(LBAM)是澳大利亚许多园艺作物的一种严重害虫，每年给经济造成约2100万美元的损失。控制LBAM的方法依赖于杀虫剂的使用。然而，这种害虫已经对各种针对它的化学物质产生了抗药性。这项提案旨在评估EppoMNPV多角体病毒作为杀虫剂替代品控制其的潜力。该病毒的成功开发将提供一种对环境无害的杀虫剂替代品，可在一系列不同的情况下用于控制LBAM，包括大面积和有机生产。
