Abstract

The impact of a fall armyworm resistant corn, `Antigua 2D-118', on larval numbers was measured for 3 years in field studies. The susceptible standard, `Cacahuacintle Crosses' (Cac. C) had ca. 2 times as many fall armyworms as did `Antigua 2D-118' 10 days after infestation. The resistance of `Antigua 2D-118' was expressed in fewer larvae per plant and less leaf damage than the susceptible entry for all 3 years.
