Application of different doses of SpltMNPV on final instars of Spodoptera litura showed dose-related mortality. A significant increase in the time for pupation and progeny mortality as well as reduced fecundity was observed in surviving larvae. Impact of sublethal doses on subsequent generation needs attention in designing baculovirus-based pest management.
