The RNA-based spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) technology represents an ecologically sustainable approach to crop protection and pathogen management. Following the recent approval of Ledprona as first sprayable double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) biopesticide by EPA at end 2023, SIGS has emerged a focal point in both academic industrial sectors. This review analyzes advances emerging trends SIGS. application for protection, including control insects, fungal pathogens, viruses, is briefly summarized. Distinguishing this from others, we delve into practical aspects technology, such selection screening target genes, large-scale production methods, delivery systems, highlighting major advancements these areas also addressing remaining questions issues, particularly concerning safety concerns controlling harmful weeds. Finally, emphasizes its integration with nanotechnology other methodologies. Collectively, rapid progress studies poised accelerate maturation technology.
