BOLLGARD 3 RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (RMP) FOR CENTRAL & SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND, NEW SOUTH WALES & VICTORIA
The Resistance Management Plan is based on three basic principles: (1) minimising the exposure of Helicoverpa spp. to the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins Cry1Ac, Cry2Ab and Vip3A, (2) providing a population of susceptible individuals that can mate with any resistant individuals, hence diluting any potential resistance, and (3) removing resistant individuals at the end of the cotton season. These principles are supported through the implementation of five elements that are the key components of the Resistance Management Plan.
