Transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and biological control (2006, background): “The regional appearance of mirids (Miridae) and stinkbugs (Pentatomidae) as pests in Bt cotton has not been attributed to a disturbance of the biological control function but to the fact that those pests had earlier been under control from broad spectrum insecticides applied against lepidopteran p”
Risk preferences and pesticide use by cotton farmers in China (2013, background): “Moreover, the size of the mirid population has been found to fluctuate with rainfall and temperature (Ting, 1963; Wu et al., 2002; Wang et al. 2009).”
Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “[47, 48]) or predicted [49] to be more problematic in Bt cotton.”
Bt-cotton and secondary pests (2008, background): “The risk of an increasing concentration of, and damage from, secondary pests associated with the application of chemical pesticides toxic to only the primary pest is widely recognised in agricultural sciences (Harper and Zilberman, 1989; Hueth and Regev, 1994; Hueth et al., 1992; Wu and Guo, 2005; W”
