MeSH headings : Anti-Bacterial Agents; Disinfectants; Humans; Pesticides
TL;DR: The concept of coevolutionary governance is introduced and three priorities for its implementation are proposed: new norms and mental models for lowering use, diversifying practices to reduce directional selection, and investment in collective action institutions to govern connectivity.

Crop rotation mitigates impacts of corn rootworm resistance to transgenic Bt corn

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 117(31), 18385–18392.

author keywords: resistance management; resistance mitigation; landscape analysis
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis / metabolism; Coleoptera / drug effects; Coleoptera / physiology; Crop Production / economics; Crop Production / methods; Endotoxins / genetics; Endotoxins / metabolism; Endotoxins / pharmacology; Insecticide Resistance; Iowa; Pest Control, Biological / economics; Plant Diseases / economics; Plant Diseases / immunology; Plant Diseases / parasitology; Plant Diseases / prevention & control; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / immunology; Plants, Genetically Modified / parasitology; Soybeans / growth & development; Zea mays / genetics; Zea mays / growth & development; Zea mays / immunology; Zea mays / parasitology
TL;DR: The frequency of corn fields with severe rootworm damage was reduced by rotating corn with other crops and by not planting the same type of Bt corn year after year in the same field, and the effectiveness of corn rotation for mitigating Bt resistance problems did not differ significantly between crop-reporting districts with versus without prevalent rotation-resistant rootworm populations.
