Potential effects of transgenic maize with three expressed Bt proteins on epigeal predatory arthropods
Description:
The aim of this project is to investigate the potential effects of the genetically modified Bt maize cultivar MON89034xMON88017 on ground beetles and spiders found in maize fields. This maize produces three Bt proteins, making it resistant to both the European corn borer and the Western corn rootworm.
