    Gemstar® and Vivus® (Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus or NPV)
    are being increasingly used for the control of caterpillar pests

    Canopy®, D-C-Tron®+ or equivalent at recommended label rates.
    Feeding attractants such as milk powder are useful additives
    when using NPV.
    Milk powder is recommended with Vivus® products (NPV) at a
    rate of 1 kg/ha for treatments applied in chickpea.
