Description Gene suppression via RNA interference (RNAi) provides an alternative strategy for insect pest management. Insect pests cost billions of
dollars in the form of crop losses and insecticides, and farmers face an ever-present threat of insecticide resistance, fueling a continual search for
alternative pest-control strategies. Of late, novel insect pest management strategies like transgenic plants expressing insecticidal crystal protein
genes from the soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective in managing the insect pests that belong to Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. But
success of the above technology is threatened by accelerated development of resistance, which is also true with chemical insecticides. Therefore,
there is a need for identifying some additional effective pest management strategies, which could also augment integrated pest management
(IPM). In this scenario, RNA interference (RNAi) offers a great deal of hope in successful mitigation of various insect pests. This review will
feature late endeavors to comprehend the boundaries to RNA conveyance in headstrong insect species, depict late advances in the commercial
development of insect -protected crops and biological insecticides using RNAi, and talk about this methodology with regards to an integrated
pest management approach.
