Evaluations of Bollgard®, Bollgard II®, and Widestrike® technologies against beet and fall armyworm larvae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Florida Entomologist 91 (4), 531-536
Abstract: Transgenic cottons containing the Bollgard®, Bollgard II® and WideStrike® traits were grown in 2005 and 2007 to examine the efficacy against beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) and fall armyworms S. frugiperda (J. E. Smith). Results suggest that both dualgene traits are more efficacious against these armyworm species than Bollgard®. In these studies, WideStrike® appears to be more efficacious against fall armyworms than Bollgard II®, while Bollgard II® is more efficacious against beet armyworms than WideStrike®. Possible reasons for these differences in efficacy are discussed.
