dc.description.abstractCoir waste is a locally available unwanted product of coir factories in Kerala. Chemically it is a lignocellulose having high water retention capacity and porosity. It was proved to be a good alternative feed material for rearing Otyctes grubs in laboratory for the maintenance of Oryctes baculovirus (OBV) culture in vivo. On inoculation with approximately 0.S ml of OBV suspension, 48 per cent of grubs acquired this infection in sterilised coir waste whereas only 32 per cent did in sterilized cow dung. Moreover, loss of grubs due to secondary infection by bacterial septicemia was only 52 per cent as compared to 68 per cent in the same treatment.en_US
