The undertaken project includes the survey and experimentations.
The survey study was conducted to know the farmers' perception of
insect pests and pest management practices in Bt cotton in Punjab,
Pakistan. The experimentations were consisted the field and
laboratory experiments. The field experiments were conducted to
determine the impact of transgenic Bt cotton on the target and
non-target insect community in replicated field trials under
sprayed and unsprayed conditions, in comparisons with its parent
non-Bt conventional cotton. The laboratory experiments were
conducted to evaluate the impact of Bt toxin on the biological
traits (larval mortality, larval development time and pupal weight)
of Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera exigua by feeding larvae on
the leaves and flower- bolls of Bt and non-Bt cotton. The studies
highlight that researchers, technology providers and administrators
should ensure the effective and highest level of Bt toxin
expression in appropriate plant parts at the requisite time,
particularly late in the season.
