• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Function of the Natural Enemy Community (2005, background): “For example, Head et al. (2005) showed that rates of predation on sentinel eggs and larvae of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) was signiÞcantly reduced in commercial non-Bt cotton Þelds treated with broad-spectrum insecticides compared with Bt cotton Þelds in which such applications were reduced or…”
• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Abundance of Nontarget Arthropod Natural Enemies (2005, result): “These latter Þndings are consistent with recent commercial-scale, nontarget studies contrasting Bt cotton to conventional non-Bt cotton production systems (Head et al. 2005, Torres and Ruberson 2005, Whitehouse et al. 2005).”
• Biological control and sustainable food production (2008, background): “Studies in commercially managed cotton fields revealed much higher predation rates in Bt cotton compared to non-Bt fields, where more insecticides were applied (Head et al. 2005).”
• Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “studies conducted in commercial fields where both Bt and non-Bt cotton received differing insecticide applications, predation on sentinel Helicoverpa zea (target pest) eggs was higher in Bt fields at two field sites and unchanged at a third in the southeastern USA [82].”
• Genetically engineered crops help support conservation biological control (2019, background): “The impact of Bt crops on the biological control services supplied by generalist arthropod predators have been uniformly neutral in Bt maize (Ahmad et al., 2006) and Bt cotton (Head et al., 2005; Naranjo, 2005b; Olson and Ruberson, 2012; Sisterson et al., 2004).”
