Abstract:
The present invention discloses Resistance Management (RM) practices that are critical to safeguarding as a natural resource and to sustaining genetically modified crops that express Bt toxins for managing ECB and WCRW. The methods involve blending seed transformed with a nucleic acid encoding a different pesticidal protein, where both proteins target the same pest, but use different modes of pesticidal action. The seed can be also treated with pesticidal agents.
