The effect of weed density, root senescence, and egg density on western corn rootworm larval establishment, survivorship, and damage potential
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Leconte beetle emergence from and root damage to transgenic (Bt) maize (Zea mays L.) plants producing the Cry3Bb1 protein and isoline plants in the presence of varying ... -
Effects of western corn rootworm larval feeding, drought, and their interaction on maize performance and rootworm development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Both water deficit and western corn rootworm can affect maize yield and previous anecdotal evidence in the field had suggested that when both plant stress factors were present, the effect on maize was greater than would ... -
Inheritance, fitness costs, and potential mechanisms of resistance for western corn rootworm larvae surviving Bt corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has developed resistance to most control tactics used to manage it. Transgenic corn varieties that express insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus ... -
Resistance management of the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) : behavior, survival and the potential for cross resistance on Bt corn in the field, greenhouse and laboratory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The Environmental Protection Agency recently registered seed blend refuges for two of the transgenic Bt corn products targeting the western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte. Larval movement between ...
