Pests, as a significant problem in agricultural production, cause huge economic losses globally every year. Traditional pest control methods, such as the use of chemical pesticides, can be harmful to the environment and human health. Therefore, utilizing advanced biotechnology to provide effective solutions for the prevention and control of pests is of great significance to reduce the loss of global crop yields due to insect pests, ensure global food security, and reduce the environmental threat posed by the use of chemical pesticides.
Lifeasible specializes in the life sciences and biotechnology and has many years of research and service experience in insect pest control. Based on our advanced technology platform and experienced team of experts, we aim to provide more ecological, safe, and efficient solutions for pest control. Our solutions include the development of new biopesticides, the application of genetic engineering technology in the development of insecticidal proteins, and the analysis of insecticidal activity of insecticidal proteins.
Our solutions
Advantages of custom development of biopesticides
Custom development of biopesticides can provide an effective solution to replace the use of chemical pesticides through advanced biotechnology. The main advantages are as follows.
- Safe to treat the environment and ecology, will not pollute soil and water, and will not disturb the ecological balance.
- It will not make pests resistant to drugs and can be reused many times.
- The strong insecticidal effect can effectively control the population of pests.
What do we offer？
- Biological control technology. Biological control technology is a method of controlling pests and pathogenic microorganisms by utilizing beneficial organisms based on natural organisms. The biological control technologies we currently offer include the development of plant-derived biopesticides, animal-derived biopesticides, microbial insecticides, and many other forms, which can play different roles in different ecosystems. Based on the development and application of biological control technology in insecticidal proteins or hormones, it can significantly reduce the use of pesticides, improve the quality of agricultural products, protect the ecological environment, and be sustainably applied to agricultural production.
- Genetic engineering technology. Utilizing genetic engineering technology, through cutting, repairing, or adding biological genes, etc., to realize the method of precise modification of the genetic characteristics of living organisms. In the field of agriculture, the use of genetic engineering technology can be realized to optimize the characteristics of crops, such as insect resistance, disease resistance, and stress resistance. It can also be used for the control of pests and pathogenic microorganisms. For example, we utilize RNAi technology to effectively act in pest control. In the mechanism of RNAi generation, firstly, it is induced by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA or shRNA). Then endonuclease hydrolyzes the dsRNA into a shorter single-stranded RNA (siRNA), and the system of siRNA combining with the target RNA finally destroys the double-stranded target RNA. Therefore, double-stranded dsRNA or hairpin RNA (shRNA) and single-stranded siRNA can be applied as RNA interference insecticides.
