Nematode diversity in soil from a field trial with decomposing Bt cotton expressing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 protein
(2013)
The quality of decomposing plant materials may affect the soil community structure. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of decomposing Bt cotton and its isoline on soil nematode diversity. Bt cotton (06Z604D), ...
Effect of transgenic cotton expressing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 protein on entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema karii and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.
(2013)
Entomopathogenic nematodes are used in biological control of pests. The cry proteins from insect resistant cotton may affect their infectivity. The effect of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton (06Z604D) on infectivity of ...
Development of cost-effective media for the culture of Chilo partellus larvicide in Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2013-03)
Stem borers (Chilo partellus) are important field insect pests of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) in Africa. They account for more than 30% yield losses depending on the composition of the pest community. ...
Characterization of various Bacillus thuringiensis strains having larvicidal activity on Chilo partellus first-instar larvae, after culture on cost-effective medium, in Kenya
(2011)
Bacillus thuringiensis strains are widely used in many larvicidal pest control programs. However, the large-scale production of these biolarvicides is very expensive due to the high cost of the production synthetic medium. ...
Reproduction of root knot nematode (Meloidogyne icognita) on Bt cotton expressing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 protein.
(2013)
Objective: The sedentary endoparasite Meloidogyne incognita is an important plant parasitic nematode that infects cotton causing significant yield losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate reproduction of M. ...
