AMES, Iowa – A researcher at Iowa State University is urging Iowa farmers to adopt a diverse range of pest management tactics to suppress the resistance of western corn rootworm to Bt corn, a widely ...
Farmers are turning to crop rotation, sharp scouting, and diversified tactics — along with Bt — to keep the pest from taking ...
LOS ANGELES — Planting genetically modified, pest-resistant corn can provide a halo effect — offering protection from insects to nearby corn plants that have not been engineered to kill bugs, ...
Too much of a specific type of Bt corn — genetically modified to produce insecticides against corn rootworm — is being planted in places that don’t have a high risk of corn rootworms destroying corn ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — You can't teach old farmers new tricks for controlling corn rootworms. A Purdue University study found that as farmers approach late middle age, they are less likely to plant ...
AMES — Western corn rootworm resistance to Bt corn is increasing, and if farmers hope to maintain Bt traits as tools, they need to diversify their management, said Aaron Gassmann, Iowa State ...
Fifty years of records from cornfields in five Midwestern states show that genetically modified corn has dramatically reduced populations of a common corn-eating worm, the European corn borer. That ...
As planting season progresses, it's important that corn growers review current requirements for use of Bt corn hybrids, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln entomologist says. As part of corn companies' ...
Populations of European corn borer (ECB), a major corn crop pest , have declined significantly in the eastern United States, according to Penn State researchers. The decline suggests that the use of ...
