We used a published biological model and published economic algorithm to calculate the net prsent value of long-term area-wide IPM for western corn rootworm in the US. The biological model simulated resistance management of the pest over a 15-year time horizon. The results allow us to determine which IRM strategies provide better economic returns compared to others in the deployment of Bt corn.
