Behavior of Bt Resistant and Non-Resistant Pink Bollworm (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
|
ABSTRACT Pink Bollworm moths resistant to the Bt endotoxin Cry1Ac found in current varieties of transgenic cotton were not found to respond to pheromone traps as well as normal APHIS males. Bt resistant female moths did not call native male moths into traps as often or as well as normal APHIS female Pink Bollworm. This is important in considering future refugia strategy. |
