Extended Sentinel Monitoring of Helicoverpa zea Resistance to Cry and Vip3Aa Toxins in Bt Sweet Corn: Assessing Changes in Phenotypic and Allele Frequencies of Resistance

Insects, 14(7), 577.

By: G. Dively *, T. Kuhar *, S. Taylor *, H. Doughty*, K. Holmstrom *, D. Gilrein*, B. Nault *, J. Ingerson-Mahar* ...

author keywords: corn earworm; bollworm; resistance monitoring; Bacillus thuringiensis toxins; phenotypic and allele resistance frequency
TL;DR: Estimating the phenotypic and resistance allele frequencies for toxins in sentinel Bt corn revealed a widespread resistance to Cry1Ab, Cry2Ab2, and Cry1A, with higher numbers of larvae surviving in Bt ears than in non-Bt ears at many trial locations. (via Semantic Scholar)

Comparison of chemigationversusfoliar insecticide use: management of lepidopteran larvae and stink bugs in North Carolina field tomatoes with environmental and farmworker benefits

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, 77(2), 758–765.

By: J. Walgenbach* , T. Bilbo*, D. Tussey * & E. Ogburn*

author keywords: drip chemigation; reduced risk pesticides; environmental impact quotient; economics
MeSH headings : Animals; Farmers; Humans; Insect Control; Insecticides; Larva; Solanum lycopersicum; North Carolina
TL;DR: Drip chemigation was an effective tool for managing key insect pests, provided a broad range of human and environmental health benefits, and will likely become increasingly cost effective in the future as insecticide patents expire and more insecticide options become available.

Decline in Sublethal Effects of Bt Corn on Corn Earworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Linked to Increasing Levels of Resistance

Journal of Economic Entomology, 113(5), 2241–2249.

By: F. Reay-Jones *, T. Bilbo * & D. Reisig n 

Ed(s): A. Gassmann

author keywords: Helicoverpa zea; transgenic crops; Bacillus thuringiensis; maize
