Transformational crop protection - Innovative RNAi biopesticides for management of sugarcane root feeding pests

This project aims to deliver proof-of concept for delivering RNA biopesticides as an innovative non-GM, non-toxic, ecologically safe topical application for the control of canegrubs as serious pests of sugarcane. It will involve identification of the best target genes for RNAi based biopesticides for both cane grubs and soldier fly and testing the RNAi based biopesticides in feeding assays /glasshouse against canegrubs.
