Optimizing application timing and frequency of a novel <scp>dsRNAi</scp> ‐based insecticide for Colorado potato beetle management
Optimal timing and frequency of ledprona applications are critical for effective CPB control in potato. Our findings indicated that the phenology of the CPB infestation will need to be monitored closely early in the season to enable proper timing of the first ledprona application. We offer practical insights for how best to integrate dsRNA-based insecticides into season-long CPB management programs. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
