Description
John McCulloch, Aaron Gassmann, and Troy Anderson model how a corn pest beats engineered corn. Their study, from twenty twenty-four, covers the western corn rootworm. Corn strains that make bacterial toxins have fought this pest since two thousand three. Patches of plain corn, called refuges, slow the pest's adaptation.
The pest has now beaten all four toxins on the market. Two toxins were used alone before being paired, and resistance to one came first. The model, fed with lab and field data, tests refuge and pairing plans. Pairing fails faster when one toxin is already beaten. The results warn that new pairs need fresh toxins to last.
