Crop protection still mostly relies on synthetic pesticides for crop pest control. However, the
rationale for their continued use is shaded by the revealed adverse effects, such as relatively …

In this study, we review the wide range of alternative control methods used to this day to
control the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), the biggest potato pest …

In recent years, substantial effort was spent on the exploration and implementation of RNAi
