Chitosan double‐stranded <scp>RNA</scp> nanocomplexes for <i>Piezodorus guildinii</i> control
In this work, we evaluated the effect of dsRNA administration by injection and ingestion on the viability of P. guildinii and determined its molecular silencing effects. Additionally, we synthesized and characterized chitosan-dsRNA nanoparticles, which demonstrated improved efficacy in terms of stability. These findings are promising for the development of new integrated management strategies for stink bugs control. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
