APROTININ AND SYNERGISTIC COMBINATIONS THEREOF WITH LECTINS AS LARVICIDES AGAINST INSECT PESTS OF AGRONOMIC CROPS, HARVESTED MATERIAL THEREOF, AND PRODUCTS OBTAINED FROM THE HARVESTED MATERIAL

摘要

Aprotinin has been found to be larvicidal against a number of common insect pests of agricultural crops and stored grains, particularly in combination with an insecticidal or larvicidal lectin. In a preferred embodiment, plant resistance to these insects is produced by inserting into the cells of a plant a gene whose expression causes production of one or more of these proteinase inhibitors in combination with such a lectin, in larvicidal amounts.
