The inheritance and phenotypic expression of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac insecticidal protein were studied in selected populations pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), that collected from Bollgard cotton India. individual the pool resistant sourced Cry1Ac-containing Bt (Bollgard) hybrids 2010.Laboratory selection on diet with 1.0 µg mL(-1) increased percentage reaching at least third instar 7% F3 generation 94% F15 generation, a 257-fold increase median lethal...
Among the major pests of maize in India are two stem borers, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) and Sesamia inferens (Walker), an earworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). As a pest control strategy, transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) hybrids undergoing regulatory trials India. We have determined sensitivity target lepidopterans to insecticidal Bt proteins expressed maize, as this determines product efficacy resistance management strategy be adopted. Maize with event MON89034 express proteins,...
Abstract Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Earias vittella (Fabricius), Spodoptera litura exigua (Hübner) (all Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), and Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) Crambidae) are the major pests of cotton maize. Mass‐rearing these insects under controlled conditions is necessary to obtain numbers needed conduct bioassays screen insecticides, proteins, other compounds, as tools for insect pest management. We present a diet...
Resistance management of Pectinophora gossypiella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) includes collection larvae from fields, rearing to F1 generations under laboratory conditions, and evaluation against pesticides or Bt toxins. A critical step in its mass is the availability oviposition substrates suitable produce sufficient neonates generate robust bioassay data. This study demonstrates suitability an artificial substrate minimizes dependency on natural which incurs cost labor maintenance cotton plants.
