Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “Likewise, in India it is estimated that the number of insecticide applications has been comparatively reduced by 38–42% and the volume of active ingredient has been reduced by 50–70% [94–96].”
Influence of transgenic cotton on the relative abundance and damage by target and non-target insect pests under different protection regimes in India (2006, background): “armigera in Asia (Ni et al., 1996; Zhao et al., 1998; Guo et al., 1999; Bambawale et al., 2004).”
Stealth seeds: Bioproperty, biosafety, biopolitics (2007, background): “The Bt gene codes for a single protein, the Cry1Ac; there is no reason for production of that protein – lethal to Lepidoptera – to cause staples to shorten or leaves to wilt.17 Perhaps the most careful controlled study to date is of MECH-162 (Bambawale et al., 2004) – compared to the isogenic non-Bt”
Temporal and intra-plant variability of Cry1Ac expression in Bt-cotton and its influence on the survival of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera(Hubner) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) (2005, background): “In a recent study conducted in Central India, Bambawale et al.(16) reported a 50% overall reduction in H.”
