Lengthening of insect development on Bt zone results in adult emergence asynchrony: does it influence the effectiveness of the high dose/refuge zone strategy?

Insect Mortality in Relation to Toxin Concentration in the Bt Plant According to our experimental data [ 13 ], a highly significant linear regression equation characterizes, for each toxin, the relationship between mortality before adult emergence and toxin concentration in Bt plant [Cry1Ab: R 2 = 83.04 ( F 1,7 = 34.29; p < 0.001); Cry1Fa: R 2 = 97.96 ( F 1,7 = 336; p < 0.001)] (see Equations 2 and 3).
