Rootworm behavior and resistance in Bt cornfields (1.0 PM)Joseph Spencer, Principal Research Scientist and Research Program Leader in Insect Behavior, IllinoisNatural History Survey, University of Illinois, Champaign, ILBt corn was supposed to be a durable solution to corn rootworm problems. Unfortunately, Bt resistance among cornrootworms now limits the future utility of Bt hybrids for their management. Analyses of beetle behavior in non-Btrefuges designed to delay resistance suggest that our “best laid plans” likely promoted resistance evolution.

34. Prairie strips for soil, water, and wildlife benefits (1.0 SW)Tim Youngquist, agricultural specialist, Agronomy, Iowa State University, Ames, IAOur research shows that prairie strips are an affordable option for farmers and farm landowners seeking to garnermultiple benefits. By converting 10% of a crop field to diverse, native perennials farmers and farmland owners canreduce the amount of soil leaving their fields by 90% and the amount of nitrogen leaving their fields through surfacerunoff by up to 85%. Prairie strips also provide potential habitat for wildlife, including pollinators and other beneficialinsects.
