Bioassays on <em>S. litura</em> with <em>N. rileyi</em> isolates revealed that PDBC isolate was most virulent against <em>S. litura</em> and also had lower LC<sub>50</sub> and LT<sub>50</sub> values than DOR and local isolates of <em>N. rileyi</em>, indicating that it was more effective than DOR and local isolates against <em>S. litura</em>.
