Disclosed are specific aphid dsRNA constructs that target either Chloride Intracellular Channel (CLIC) gene expression or Sucrase gene expression. Also disclosed is the use of dsRNA constructs of a CLIC gene to interfere with critical functions of CLIC gene peptide products. A novel method to develop nucleic acid control for pest management is also disclosed. Also disclosed is the use of dsRNA constructs to interfere with critical functions of Sucrase gene peptide products.
