Transgenic Bt maize expressing Cry insecticidal δ-endotoxins ofBacillus thuringiensishas been cultivated in South Africa for the control ofBusseola fuscasince 1998.Busseola fuscais resistant to Cry1Ab Bt maize at many localities throughout the maize production region. Pre-release evaluation (1994–1996) of the inherent susceptibility and post-release assessments (1998–2011) of resistance status ofB. fuscafocused on a limited number of pest populations. This study reports the current levels of susceptibility of 10B. fuscapopulations evaluated between 2013 and 2017 and compared this data with previously reported data on the survival of this pest on Bt maize, including data of pre-release evaluations done during 1994 and 1995. Larval feeding bioassays in which plant tissue of maize events expressing either Cry1Ab or Cry1A.105+Cry2Ab2 (stacked event) proteins were conducted and survival and different life history parameters recorded. Results show a shift in levels of susceptibility ofB. fuscato Bt maize. Pre-release evaluation of the single-gene event showed very low larval survival on Bt maize leaf tissue while studies 10 yr later and the current study reported survival of up to 40% and 100% on Cry1Ab maize, respectively. While no larvae completed their life cycle on the stacked event, higher LT50 values in this study indicate a shift in susceptibility ofB. fuscato the stacked-gene event and highlight the importance of baseline information and monitoring of pest populations for their susceptibility to Bt maize.
