Research was conducted in the LRGV of Texas to evaluate 2-gene technology against various armyworm species.  Research indicate that some technologies are more efficacious than others, although all 2-gene technologies were far superior than current Bollgard® varieties.  Slight differences between Bollgard II® and WideStrike ™ technologies will be discussed.
