RNA interference for pest control For example, tomato plants expressing a dsRNA targeting a gene encoding a phenolic glucoside malonyltransferase, which detoxifies phenolic glycosides, shows complete resistance to the tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. Biomanufacturing pest control products For example, the biosynthetic pyrethric acid has been widely used in pyrethrin ...

Mealybugs are small but mighty pests that can settle on your plants. If left untreated, they can spell disaster! Nobody wants that now do they!? As with many aspects of growing plants, pest prevention is a great way to minimise the likelihood of infestations. In turn, this saves wasting time and resources treating mealybug populations in your grow space. Although mealybugs can affect outdoor ...
They will accomplish this through several means: controlling the energy and humidity the greenhouses use; using already-proven heat sources such as geothermal and solar heat; intensifying harvesting; watering more efficiently; preventing plague insects through the use of biological exterminators such as thrips, whitefly and plant louse where natural enemies of pests are ...
“This year, we’ve had to deal with a significant increase in the number of spidermite, thrips and whitefly,” explains Mr Roberts. “Over the years, I have used a combination of crop protection methods and tried and tested pesticides. ...
Next month’s Greenhouse Canada Grower Day is welcoming leading researchers and crop specialists to help you tackle one of the industry’s biggest challenges. Whitefly is proving to be one of the most difficult pests to control, mainly due to the lack of effective registered chemicals that can eradicate silverleaf whitefly. ...
