Catalyzing Commercialization: Unlocking the Power of RNA Interference for Insect Pest Management October2018Catalyzing CommercializationIn recent decades, insects have become more resistant to pesticides. As resistance becomes more widespread, the agricultural biotechnology sector has sought viable alternatives to curtail the huge economic losses associated with insect pests. One of these alternative approaches, called RNA interference (RNAi), could be used to kill pests by silencing genes that are critical for their survival.
