Statement I: Baculoviruses exhibit broad-spectrum activity as insecticides.

Statement II: These viruses are highly suitable for integrated pest management in environmentally sensitive areas.

Only statement II is correct .

The correct answer is Option (2) - Only statement II is correct.  

Statement I : Baculoviruses exhibit broad-spectrum activity as insecticides.These viruses are excellent candidates for species-specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications" suggests that the viruses being referred to have specific characteristics that make them suitable for targeted and specific insect control.

Statement II : These viruses are highly suitable for integrated pest management in environmentally sensitive areas.  This emphasizes the suitability of baculoviruses for integrated pest management (IPM) in ecologically sensitive areas. IPM is an approach to pest management that focuses on integrating various pest control methods, including biological control, to minimize the use of synthetic pesticides. Baculoviruses play a crucial role in IPM programs as they are highly selective in targeting pests while being harmless to beneficial organisms. This makes them an excellent choice for pest control in environmentally sensitive areas where preserving the ecological balance is a priority. By incorporating baculoviruses into IPM strategies, the reliance on chemical pesticides can be reduced, promoting sustainable and eco-friendly pest management practices.When it comes to pest management, it is desirable to have control methods that effectively target the pests while minimizing any negative impacts on beneficial insects, non-target organisms, and the environment. This is where the concept of narrow spectrum insecticides comes into play. Narrow spectrum insecticides are designed to target specific insect species or a narrow range of related species, rather than having a broad impact on a wide range of insects.
