The LDH-formulated dsRNA achieved over 80% control efficacy against both whitefly and thrips on hot peppers.
Compared to unformulated dsRNA, LDH formulation showed superior control efficacy and longer residual effects.
The study demonstrated that thrips can uptake dsRNA, while whiteflies require alternative delivery methods like VIGS.
The findings suggest using LDH-formulated dsRNA can reduce reliance on chemical insecticides for pest control.
