Field trials were conducted in North and South Carolina to evaluate the impact of corn hybrids expressing Bt toxins on life cycle traits of the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), in addition to evaluating efficacy of traits in reducing pest injury and associated yield loss. Trials included events MON810, TC1507, and MON89034. The value of using such technologies will be discussed.
