Chitosan-protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators. [PDF]
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.
