We describe Sec23 as RNAi target for in planta rootworm control. High mortality in exposed adult and larvae and moderate sublethal effects in the offspring of females exposed to Sec23 dsRNA LC25 , suggest the potential for field application of this RNAi trait and the need to factor in responses to sublethal exposure into insect resistance management programs. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
