e0“Bt maize could mitigate lepidopteran pest pressure by 61.9-97.3%, avoid yield loss by 16.4-21.3% (range -11.9-99.2%) and lower mycotoxin contamination by 85.5-95.5% as compared to the prevailing non-Bt hybrids.”

- Intervention effect Bt maize reduced lepidopteran pest pressure by 61.9-97.3%.
- Intervention effect Bt maize avoided 16.4-21.3% yield loss.
- Association Yield loss avoidance varied among sites and years with pest pressure and identity.
- Intervention effect At 90% Bt coverage in Yunnan, S. frugiperda pressure stayed below thresholds.
- Intervention effect At 70% Bt coverage in other sites, H. armigera pressure stayed below thresholds.
- Intervention effect At 70% Bt coverage in other sites, O. furnacalis pressure stayed below thresholds.
