Resistance of Soybean Genotypes toAnticarsia gemmatalis(Lepidoptera: Erebidae): Antixenosis and Antibiosis Characterization [PDF]
AbstractInjury by herbivores is a major biotic stress that limits soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] crop production. Among the main soybean insect pests, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner is responsible for causing significant economic damage in soybean. The primary management strategy for this insect is chemical control and use of Bt transgenic soybean ...
