Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Armyworm consumption rates were increased on the borer-resistant maize genotypes.
- Observation Armyworm growth rates on B49 and SJ maize were more rapid, much greater than expected.
- Mechanism High consumption rates and a recovery in final-instar conversion efficiencies resulted in more rapid armyworm growth on B49 and SJ maize.
- Mechanism The authors suggest the versatility in feeding and detoxification of the polyphagous armyworm is a major reason for the lack of success in developing armyworm-resistant plants.
