Impact of Bt cotton adoption on pesticide use by smallholders: A 2-year survey in Makhatini Flats (South Africa) (2006, background): “…did not enable farmers to implement a cleaner and less hazardous pest management as a reduction of two sprays will only slightly improve the ecosystem health and diminish the probability of poisoning, especially with continued OP use (Brown, 2000; Phipps and Park, 2002; Shelton et al., 2002).”
Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “There has been considerable effort made in attempting to estimate the economic and environmental costs and benefits associated with GE crop production, and Bt crop production in particular, compared with conventional production systems (see reviews by [17, 84–86]).”
The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical review of laboratory studies (2005, background): “This also holds for the growing of genetically modified (GM) crop plants, a recent but fast-spreading (Shelton et al., 2002) agricultural innovation.”
Resistance monitoring of field populations of the corn borers Sesamia nonagrioides and Ostrinia nubilalis after 5 years of Bt maize cultivation in Spain (2004, background): “Bt maize can effectively control these two major maize pests, at the same time reducing environmental costs associated with the use of conventional insecticides (Shelton et al., 2002).”
Botanical insecticide as simple extractives for pest control (2017, neutral): “…oviposition inhibitors, ovicides, and growth-reducing effects on a variety of insects (Don-Perdo, 1996; Elzen & Hardee, 2003; Koshier & Sedy, 2001; Lu, 1995; Pereira et al., 2006; Regnault-Roger et al., 2012; Shelton et al., 2002; Sithisut et al., 2011; Tripathi, Prajapati, Khanuja, & Kumar, 2003).”
Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “Despite considerable research and literature about Bt, the evolutionary role of the toxins still remains subject of discussion (de Maagd et al., 2001).”
A review of the detection and fate of novel plant molecules derived from biotechnology in livestock production (2007, background): “Throughout the world, controversy remains both at public and at scientific levels about the benefits and risks regarding GM crops entering the food- and feed chains as well as regulations presently in place (Finucane, 2002; Shelton et al., 2002).”
Selection for Cry1F resistance in the European corn borer and cross‐resistance to other Cry toxins (2008, background): “…hybrids as well as other Bt-expressing hybrids represent an important alternative to conventional insecticides in terms of environmental safety and have increasingly been shown to have negligible effects on non-target organisms (Hellmich et al., 2001; Shelton et al., 2002; Naranjo et al., 2005).”
Insecticidal Genetically Modified Crops and Insect Resistance Management (IRM) (2008, background): “For this reason, Bt genes coding for insecticidal proteins have been transferred to agronomically relevant crops to confer them protection to their most important insect pests (Shelton et al., 2002).”
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, background): “Multiple-gene constructs 959 targeting different binding sites is the basis for the gene pyramiding that underlies the 960 JIP-15-82 43 development of novel generations of Bt crops (Shelton et al., 2002).”
Sustainable pest management for cotton production. A review (2011, background): “…1995, the commercialisation of Bt-cotton has permitted a reduction of 50 to 80% in the number of insecticide treatments against the most dangerous lepidopteran caterpillars, with variable gains in yields depending on the efficacy of the preceding chemical control practices (Shelton et al., 2002).”
Insecticidal Protein Crystals of Bacillus thuringiensis (2006, background): “Moreover, insecticidal transgenic crops are expected to increase in sales worldwide at a rate of 10–20% per year as new varieties of Bt crops are developed (Shelton et al. 2002).”
Ecological Effects of Transgenic Crops and the Escape of Transgenes into Wild Populations (2004, background): “Furthermore, much of our discussion of insect resistance has focused on Bt crops because these have been released commercially and extensively evaluated (Shelton et al. 2002, Mendelsohn 2003).”
Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Abundance of Nontarget Arthropod Natural Enemies (2005, background): “…in conventional, broad-spectrum insecticide use, improved suppression of target pests, improved yields, reductions in production costs leading to increased proÞtability, and increased opportunities for biological control (Cannon 2000, Edge et al. 2001, Shelton et al. 2002, Federici 2003).”
