TLDR
In the laboratory, Heliothis zea (Boddie) larvae that were fed foliage of ED73–371, a genotype resistant to the Mexican bean beetle, Epilachna varivestis Mulsant, weighed less and were more susceptible to methomyl and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner compared to larvae feeding foliage of the ‘Bragg’ variety.Abstract:
In the laboratory, Heliothis zea (Boddie) larvae that were fed foliage of ED73–371, a genotype resistant to the Mexican bean beetle, Epilachna varivestis Mulsant, weighed less and were more susceptible to methomyl and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner compared to larvae fed foliage of the ‘Bragg’ variety. No difference was detected in the LD50, of methyl parathion when H. zea larvae were reared on Bragg and ED73–371. Larvae of Pseudoplusia includens (Walker) weighed less and were significantly more susceptible to methyl parathion when fed ED73–371 foliage than when fed Bragg foliage, whereas LD60’s of methomyl and B. thuringiensis were similar on the 2 genotypes.
Percent control of field populations of H. zea was greater in ED73–371 than in Bragg soybeans when plots of each genotype were treated with similar rates of methyl parathion or B. thuringiensis . Fewer larvae were found in untreated plots of ED73–371 than in Bragg, indicating a lower natural population in the resistant soybeans.read more

Integrated pest management theory and practice
TL;DR: General requisites towards the design and implementation of IPM programs are outlined and mostly entomological examples in the grain legumes are used to demonstrate achievements of IPM at level a, and the difficulties involved in advancing towards integration of multiple pest stresses and systems integration.

Consequences of Induction of Foreign Compound-Metabolizing Enzymes in Insects
TL;DR: The first report of induction of the PSMO enzymes in insects was that of Morello (1964) who found that nymphs of Triatoma infestans Klug were less susceptible to DDT after pretreatment with 3-methylcholanthrene and produced more polar metabolites from DDT.

TL;DR: Application of Btk on tomato leaves had synergistic or additive effects with the resistant genotype on larval survival and this effect was dependent on the instar at which the larvae were fed Btk‐treated leaves.
