This study investigates the effectiveness of topical RNA interference (RNAi) in controlling the cotton–melon aphid (Aphis gossypii) by silencing four target genes, resulting in increased mortality and reduced reproduction without harming the ladybird beetle (Propylea japonica), a natural predator. The research highlights the potential of RNAi as a viable alternative to chemical insecticides, which have led to resistance in aphids. The findings suggest that topical dsRNA delivery could be a promising strateg
