Evaluation of Transgenic Rootworm Corn, with and without Seed Treatments or Insecticide

Authors: Aaron J. Gassmann (Iowa State University) , Patrick J. Weber (Iowa State University)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate potential benefits of combining transgenic rootworm protection with a soil insecticide. We tested the transgenic rootworm protected hybrid YieldGard VT Triple (DKC 61-69) and its near isoline (DKC 61-72) in a full factorial design with two soil insecticides, Poncho 1250 seed treatment and Aztec.
