Precision insect control using programmable modular phage therapy platforms

Invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda, known as the fall armyworm (FAW), evolves rapid resistance to chlorantraniliprole (CAP) via symbionts, reducing traditional control efficacy and causing economic losses

Currently, the Modular Phage-based Symbiont Target system has reached Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4–5, with robust validation in controlled laboratory…
