Abstract
Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda are destructive insect pests of cotton and corn. Both have evolved practical resistance to transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins in the United States. GS-omega/kappa-Hxtx-Hv1a (ω/κ-Hv1a) is a novel biopesticide derived from spider venom with activity against lepidopteran pests. The efficacy of ω/κ-Hv1a is dependent on combining it with a facilitator product such as a Bt-based insecticide. However, it is unknown if ω/κ-Hv1a can be an alternative for the management of Bt resistance. In this study, we tested the effect of ω/κ-Hv1a alone or in the presence of Bt toxins against susceptible and resistant H. zea and S. frugiperda.
期刊介绍：
Pest Management Science is the international journal of research and development in crop protection and pest control. Since its launch in 1970, the journal has become the premier forum for papers on the discovery, application, and impact on the environment of products and strategies designed for pest management.
