2 Why to use GM crops in the IPM context? 1. There is no single technology to solve food security problems alone in a sustainable manner. 2. The use of GM plants in the IPM context will extend lifespan of GM events and maintain high efficacy against the targets. 3. We have to learn how to make best use of GM plants in different agricultural production systems IPM sets the frame. 2
3 Outline What is IPM? Regionwide reduction of target pests Reduction of insecticide use Regionwide secondary pest outbreaks Effects on natural enemies and conservation biological control Insect resistance management 3
4 FAO definition of IPM Integrated Pest Management (IPM) means: careful consideration of all available pest control techniques integration of appropriate measures to reduce development of pest populations keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified minimize risks to human and animal health and the environment. to grow a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and that encourages natural pest control mechanisms. 4 Adapted from FAO Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management, 2013
5 The visualised IPM concept Responsive (direct) crop protection Risk assessment/ Decision making Preventive (indirect) crop protection Tolerant/ Resistant cultivars Chemical Biotechnical Physical Biological Warning/ Forecasting/ Early diagnosis systems Threshold values Resistance manag/areawide control Cultural control: Cultivation tech., Fertilizer, Irrigation, Crop rotation, Weed manag., etc. Enhancement of natural enemies Certified, healthy seeds & plants 5 Meissle et al Pest Manag.

24 Insect Resistance Management What is insecticide resistance? Resistance (is) a genetic change in response to selection by toxicants that may impair control in the field (Sawicki, 1987) Development of strains capable of surviving a dose lethal to a majority of individuals in a normal population (Constant and Roush, 1990) Resistance is a heritable change in the sensitivity of a pest population that is reflected in the repeated failure of a product to achieve the expected level of control (IRAC cited in Tabashnik et al, 2013) 24
25 Present status of resistance to Bt plants Five confirmed cases of field resistance (Tabashnik et al. 2013) Helicoverpa zea; USA, against Cry1Ac cotton in 2002 after its indtroduction in 1996 (6 years) Spodoptera frugiperda; Puerto Rico, against Cry1F maize in 2007 after its introduction in 2003 (4 years) Busseola fusca; South Africa, against Cry1Ab maize in 2004 after its introduction in 1998 (6 years) Pectinophora gossypiella; India, against Cry1Ac cotton in 2009 after its introduction in 2002 (7 years) Dibarotica virgifera virgifera; USA, against Cry3Bb1 in
26 High dose/refuge strategy High dose: to kill 99.9 of susceptible individuals of a population RS SR Refuge: to reduce chances that resistant insects (RR) mate with each other by providing large numbers of susceptible insects (SS) from the refuge (non-bt crop or other crops) Bt RR RR non Bt SS 26
27 Factors affecting the efficacy of insect resistance management strategies Inheritance of resistance (initial resistance frequency, recessive/dominant) Toxin dose (level over growing season) Refuge Size and placement Farmer compliance Expression of multiple toxins (pyramids) Fitness costs of resistance Impact of natural enemies 27
28 Conclusions Current Bt crops play a major role in IPM systems of cotton and maize with benefits to farmers and the environment High efficacy of Bt crops against target insect pests reduce pest populations regionwide Bt crops reduce insecticide use and thus enhance natural enemies in the target crop itself and in other crops regionwide Biological control organisms are not negatively affected by Bt crops which are more IPM compatible than most insecticides Intelligent resistance management will be a key for sustainable use of Bt crops IPM is a continuous learning process on how to optimize methods and technologies including GM crops 28
