Professor David Hennessy published an article in Science volume 387 issue 6737. Hennessy authored the article "Too much of a good thing: Lessons from compromised rootworm Bt maize in the US Corn Belt" with co-authors from Renmin University of China, Michigan State University, Cornell University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, North Dakota State University, South Dakota State University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, The Ohio State University, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Guelph, Purdue University, and Iowa State University.
The authors examine insect resistance to genetically engineered maize that targets the corn rootworm complex (Diabrotica species) and find a tendency to overplant Bt maize, leading to substantial economic losses.
