Coleopteran specific dsrna interference constructs: SyngentaRecent Research Landscape

Crop destruction by beetle larvae causes significant yield loss and chemical runoff risks. These innovations utilize sequence-specific genetic interference to provide targeted pest lethality without affecting non-target species.

What technical problems is Syngenta addressing in Coleopteran specific dsrna interference constructs?

Insecticide resistance and low virulence

(17)evidences

Uncontrolled herbivorous insect populations lead to significant agricultural yield loss. Mitigating this damage through biological agents ensures food security and reduces reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides.

Coleopteran crop damage

(12)evidences

Destructive feeding by beetle larvae and adults causes significant yield loss. Mitigating this infestation prevents economic degradation of agricultural assets.
