CONTROL OF CROP PESTS AND ANIMAL PARASITES THROUGH DIRECT NEURONAL UPTAKE

摘要

A method for combating crop pests or animal parasites is provided by contacting them with a peptide which has a molecular weight of 12,000 Dalton or less, which is able to exert its effect after entry into the neurons of the crop pest or in the synaptic cleft and which is able to be taken up through retrograde neuronal transport starting from a sense organ.
