TL;DR: Areawide suppression of the primary pest Ostrinia nubilalis (European corn borer) is associated with Bt maize use, which affirm theoretical predictions of pest population suppression and highlight economic incentives for growers to maintain non-Bt maize refugia for sustainable insect resistance management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adult Susceptibility of Nebraska Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Populations to Selected Insecticides
TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that corn rootworm management practices have selected for significant levels of resistance to methyl parathion, carbaryl, or both in certain areas of Nebraska.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental influences on soil macroarthropod behavior in agricultural systems
TL;DR: L'importance du comportement dans le controle de ces insectes est discutee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larval susceptibility of an insecticide-resistant western corn rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) population to soil insecticides: laboratory bioassays, assays of detoxification enzymes, and field performance.

TL;DR: It is suggested that resistance previously documented in adults also is present in 3rd instars, esterases are possibly involved as resistance mechanisms, and resistance to methyl parathion in adults is also evident in larvae, but does not confer cross-resistance in larvae to all organophosphate insecticides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetative and Reproductive Biomass Accumulation in Field Com: Response to Root Injury by Western Com Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
TL;DR: A 2-yr field study was conducted to evaluate the effects of larval injury by western corn rootworm on vegetative and reproductive biomass accumulation of field corn, finding that plant response to stress was generally similar in all three soil textures.
