The results showed that the HaNPV-UVT-CBEI had no adverse effect on the growth parameters, survival and production parameters of the organisms tested in comparison with the UV shielded &lt;em&gt;Ha&lt;/em&gt;NPV (&lt;em&gt;Ha&lt;/em&gt;NPV-UVS-CBEI). The cyclical exposure of &lt;em&gt;Ha&lt;/em&gt;NPV to UV radiation for the selection of UV tolerant strain did not have any deleterious effect on the safety of the virus to the non-target organisms.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Biological Control}, author={Jeyarani, S. and Karuppuchamy, P. and Sathiah, N. and Manimegalai, S.}, year={2008}, month={Jun.}, pages={107–112} }
