Bt corn and Bt cotton: Valuable tools for IPM

Crops & Soils, 2017
The widespread implementation of Bt crops has decreased insecticide use and increased crop yields, but it must be used in an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to protect the crop from pest species that are not susceptible to the Bt toxin and to manage resistance to preserve this valuable technology.

Agronomic Performance of Bt and Non Bt Cotton hybrids

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2009
An investigation on three Bt cotton hybrids was carried out for their agronomic performance with their counterparts non Bt hybrids at the Department of Cotton, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during winter season of 2007-2008 along with hybrid cotton Savitha. The results indicated that all the Bt entries recorded higher seed cotton yield

Tritrophic Effects in Bt Cotton

Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2005
Transgenic insecticidal Bt crops are being increasingly used worldwide, and concern is increasing about resistance and their effects on nontarget organisms. The toxin acts as a weak pesticide and, hence, the effects are subtler than those of chemical biocides.

Certainty Equivalent Farm Returns from Bt and Non-Bt Cotton

2006
Annual mean returns and certainty equivalent returns for 1983-2003 were calculated for specified non-Bt cotton (refuge) percentages for a cotton farm of average size in the Mississippi Delta. Certainty equivalents indicate sprays influence mean profits more than the percentage of refuge in a cotton producer's portfolio.

Rationalising Bt Technology: Creating a Biopolitical Space Around Bt Cotton

History and Sociology of South Asia, 2012
Sociologists have long recognised rationalisation as a process through which a universally applicable technical code crystallises as technological rationality of a modern society. This article challenges such essentialist theories that offer deter-ministic and universal generalisations about such abstract categories as technical rationality. Rather it

[Bt toxin distribution in transgenic Bt cotton and soil system].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2007
This study showed that the amounts of Bt toxin expressed in transgenic Bt cotton leaves and stems (103.5 - 134.1 ng x g(-1)) were rather higher than those expressed in transgenic Bt cotton roots (44.7 - 21.2 ng x g(-1)), indicating that total amount of soil Bt toxin introduced by transgenic Bt cotton could be decreased through treating its above-ground
