Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method for controlling Athetis lepigone, which comprises contacting Athetis lepigone with Cry1F protein. Aspects of the present invention can achieve control of Athetis lepigone by enabling plants to produce Cry1F protein in vivo, which can be lethal to Athetis lepigone. In still other instances, the method can control Athetis lepigone throughout the growth period of the plants and provide the plants with a full protection. Additionally, the method, in certain embodiments, can be one or more of stable, complete, simple, convenient, economical, pollution-free or residue-free.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling Conogethes punctiferalis, which comprises contacting Conogethes punctiferalis with Cry1A protein. The present invention achieves the control of Conogethes punctiferalis by enabling plants to produce Cry1A protein in vivo, which is lethal to Conogethes punctiferalis. In comparison with current agricultural and chemical control methods, the method of the present invention can control Conogethes punctiferalis throughout the growth period of the plants and provide the plants with a full protection. Additionally, the method is stable, complete, simple, convenient, economical, pollution-free and residue-free.
