Efficient control of Tribulium castaneum using zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 nanocarrier‐mediated delivery of dsRNA targeting Paramyosin

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the use of ZIF-8 nanocarriers for delivering dsRNA targeting paramyosin in T. castaneum.
• Utilized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 for dsRNA encapsulation.
• Targeted paramyosin gene in Tribolium castaneum.
• ZIF-8@dsTcPM demonstrates significant potential in controlling T. castaneum population.
• Effective prevention methods are highlighted for sustainable pest management.
