METHOD FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF HELICOVERPA ARMIGERA

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for pest management using inhibitory repeat domain IRD 9 (Seq ID No.2) proteinase inhibitor showing enhanced inhibitory activity against the gut proteases of insects. More particularly, the present invention relates to a IRD 9 (Seq ID No.2) proteinase inhibitor from non-host plant Capsicum annuum, which possesses significantly high insect protease inhibition activity against the gut proteases of Helicoverpa armigera.
