Explanation

NPV (Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus) is a biopesticide - a virus that specifically infects and kills insect pests, particularly lepidopteran larvae like caterpillars. It's used in organic farming as an environmentally friendly pest control method. NPV is not itself a pest, but a control agent; it's more specific than 'bio control agent' which is a broader category.
