Large-scale assessment of lepidopteran soybean pests and efficacy of Cry1Ac soybean in Brazil

Abstract The soybean technology MON 87701 × MON 89788, expressing Cry1Ac and conferring tolerance to glyphosate, has been widely adopted in Brazil since 2013. However, pest shifts or resistance evolution could reduce the benefits of this technology. To assess Cry1Ac soybean performance and understan...
