Abstract
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods utilizing double strand ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) to control parasitic nematodes, including Pratylenchus penetrans. More particularly, the present invention relates to several specific synthetic dsRNAs that induce RNA interference (RNAi) in the target nematodes and methods of delivering the dsRNAs to them, such as allowing feeding on plants containing the dsRNAs.
