Abstract:
Population dynamics and damage of green leaf bug,
Lygus lucorum Mayr,on transgenic Bt cotton are studied in this paper.The results show that the bug num ber on GK-12 is not significantly different from that on its parent,but its degree of leaves damaged by the second generation of green leaf bug is much higher.There are no differences between SGK32 1 and its parent,when the number of green lea f bug and the degree of damaged leaves are compared.The damage index of total leaves on GK-12 is 1.27 times higher than that on SGK32 1.Thus,the damage of green leaf bug to transgenic Bt cotton,GK-12,is upward,while the population and damage on SGK32 1 are controlled in some extent.
