Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect The Bt hybrid did not significantly affect overall arthropod biodiversity or community responses.
- Intervention effect The Bt hybrid had no significant adverse effects on nontarget herbivore, decomposer and natural enemy densities.
- Intervention effect One insecticide application in Bt plots reduced natural enemy abundance by 21-48%.
- Intervention effect Five applications in non-Bt plots reduced natural enemy communities by 33-70%.
- Observation Affected communities in insecticide-treated Bt plots showed some recovery.
- Observation Communities exposed to five applications showed no recovery trend during the crop cycle.
- Observation Bt corn nontarget effects were minimal and much less than lambda-cyhalothrin disruptions.
