Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of non-Bt corn, Bt corn, and soil insecticide, either alone or in combination, for management of larval corn rootworm. The Bt trait packages evaluated in this study were DeKalb Smartstax RIB, Pioneer AcreMax Xtreme (AMXT), and Pioneer AcreMax Xtra (AMX). Two soil-applied insecticides, Aztec-SB 9.34G and Index 2.80 CS, also were evaluated.
