Sustainability: Corn Root Worm Active NLS Strains • $Billion pest problem currently managed with GMO corn seed. • CRW evolving resistance to existing traits: new traits being introduced and conventional chemistry is being used. • New EPA rules being promoted placing management in to the stakeholders (manufactures) control.
• Tritrophic level interaction between the host crop, the microbiome (PPFM) and the pest. • Healthy plants appear to 'outgrow' CRW feeding.
• Co-application of PPFMs can reduce conventional pesticide use and help protect existing traits.
