Occupational hazards and health cost of women cotton pickers in Pakistani Punjab

BMC Public Health, 2016
Background Farm workers and female cotton pickers are exposed to residual impacts of pesticide use in cotton production, in addition to dust, ultraviolet radiation, etc. Cotton picking causes various health hazards among cotton pickers with varied health

Interaction Between Bt-Transgenic Cotton and the Whitefly’s Parasitoid, Encarsia Formosa (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2014
Transgenic Bt cotton developed against lepidopteran pests may not be compatible with parasitoid of secondary pests such as Bemisia tabaci which attack many plants such as cotton.

Undiversity, inequity, and exclusion in supply chains: The unintended fallout of economic sanctions and consumer boycotts

Production and Operations Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Economic sanctions and consumer boycotts are common tools to punish organizations for undesirable behavior and attempt to coerce them to change their actions. However, these tools occasionally spill over beyond the intended recipients and affect guiltless supply chain members, jeopardizing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in ...

Effects of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis cotton on insecticide use, heliothine counts, plant damage, and cotton yield: A meta-analysis, 1996-2015. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The primary management tactic for lepidopteran pests of cotton in the United States of America (USA) is the use of transgenic cotton that produces Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) toxins.

Drop-off behaviour of Bt-resistant and Bt-susceptibleHelicoverpa armigera(Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae on Bt-cotton and non-Bt cotton plants

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2022
AbstractThe highest natural mortality rate of larval Lepidoptera in field populations occurs in the first instar, but it is highly variable. The pattern and degree of survival is not easily predicted but depends on their ability to establish on host plants.

Increased frequency of pink bollworm resistance to Bt toxin Cry1Ac in China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) kill some key insect pests, but evolution of resistance by pests can reduce their efficacy.

Impact of Bt-cotton on soil microbiological and biochemical attributes

Plant Production Science, 2016
Transgenic Bt-cotton produces Bt-toxins (Cry proteins) which may accumulate and persist in soil due to their binding ability on soil components. In the present study, the potential impacts of Bt- and non-Bt genotypes of cotton on soil microbial activity,

Evaluation of the effect of transgenic Bt cotton on snails Bradybaena (Acusta) ravida and Bradybaena similaris (Ferussac)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
The impact of transgenic crops on non-target organisms is a key aspect of environmental safety assessment to transgenic crops. In the present study, we fed two snail species, Bradybaena (Acusta) ravida (B.

Feeding and dispersal behavior of the cotton leafworm, Alabama argillacea (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), on Bt and non-Bt cotton: implications for evolution and resistance management.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The host acceptance of neonate Alabama argillacea (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae to Bt cotton plants exerts a strong influence on the potential risk that this pest will develop resistance to Bt cotton. This will also determine the efficiency of
