Effects of Bt maize with multiple European corn borer and corn rootworm resistance genes on non-target organisms
Description:
The aim of this project is to investigate the potential effects of the genetically modified Bt maize cultivar MON89034xMON88017 on herbivorous insects – mirids, cicadas and thrips – which come into contact with Bt proteins as a result of their diet.
