Evaluation of Bt Corn and RNA Interference Technology for Management of Larval Corn Rootworm in Central
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two Bt rootworm traits (Cry3Bb1 and Cry34/35Ab1) with and without an RNA interference trait (DvSnf7) for management of corn rootworm (CRW) larvae. The two CRW trait packages evaluated in this study were: 1) a pyramid Cry3Bb1 and Cry34/35Ab1 (SmartStax®), and a pyramid of Cry3Bb1, Cry34/35Ab1 and DvSnf7 (SmartStax PRO®). Both of the CRW trait packages were replicated twice, using two different hybrids with each trait package. Additionally, two non-CRW Bt hybrids were included in this study as untreated checks.
