technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to the application of two dsRNAs and their combination in controlling aphid damage. Background technique
[0002] Wheat aphids (especially wheat aphids) are one of the main pests that harm wheat production in China. According to statistics, the area of wheat aphid damage in China can reach as high as 17 million hectares every year, accounting for 62% of the total wheat planting area, resulting in a 15% reduction in production— 30%, up to 50% in severe cases. In recent years, due to factors such as global warming and changes in farming systems, the reproductive ability and adaptability of aphids have been significantly enhanced, and their harm has become increasingly serious. At present, aphid control is mainly based on spraying pesticides, but a large amount of pesticides are not only harmful to humans and animals, but also cause serious environmental pollution. Breeding aphid-resis...
