Spodoptera Insect Resistant GM Cotton Technology

Insect Resistant form cry1EC gene is specially used against two field crop insect pests Spodoptera litura and Pectinophora gossypiella.

Insect Resistant GM Cotton Technology used against two field crop insect pests Spodoptera litura and Pectinophora gossypiella.

• Cry1EC is a novel and patented δ-endotoxin. It is most effective protein for the control of S. litura. It is also effective against P. Gossypeilla.
• Cry1EC-GM cotton is resistant to two cotton pests S. litura and P. Gossypiella.
  BollGardII GM cotton varieties no longer provide resistance against these insects.
• Cry1EC-cotton technology can fill the gap.    
  Cry1EC-technology provides environmentally safe and economically competitive alternative to chemical pesticides.
