AI Technical Summary
After long-term use, cotton bollworms have developed resistance to Cry1Ac toxin in existing Bt cotton, resulting in a decline in control efficacy. There is a need to develop adjuvants that can improve the insecticidal speed and efficiency of HearNPV to enhance the control effect against resistant cotton bollworms.
Using HearNPV-miR-hr5b microRNA and its agomir, and through the modified nucleotide sequence CGGGCAAATTTCAAATAAA, microcapsules or nanoparticle formulations were prepared and mixed with bollworm nucleopolyhedrovirus for application, which increased the replication accumulation and infection rate of the virus in bollworm.
It significantly accelerates the mortality rate of cotton bollworms, improves the insecticidal effect on wild and resistant cotton bollworms, enhances the virus's ability to spread, and improves control efficiency.
