Abstract
- The article focuses on the Colorado potato beetle, a destructive pest historically causing significant crop losses worldwide, despite false accusations of being used as a biological weapon. It highlights ongoing challenges in controlling the beetle due to its rapid evolution of resistance to over 50 different pesticides, prompting the development and approval of RNA-based pesticides like Calantha.
