Nanomaterial-Encapsulated dsRNA-Targeting Chitin Pathway─A Potential Efficient and Eco-Friendly Strategy against Cotton Aphid, (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

The -strategy pests are very challenging to effectively control because of their rapid population growth and strong resurgence potential and are more prone to developing pesticide resistance. As a typical -strategy pest, the cosmopolitan cotton aphid, Glover, seriously impacts the growth and production of cucurbits and cotton. The present study developed a SPc/double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)/botanical strategy to enhance the control efficacy of .
