Corn Rootworm (2).jpeg — Corn that has been genetically engineered to resist corn rootworms like this one has become increasingly less effective. Purdue University entomologist Christian Krupke and his colleagues at 12 universities publish a multi-state analysis of the problem in the journal Science.

Corn that has been genetically engineered to resist corn rootworms has become increasingly less effective.

Corn Rootworm (1).jpeg — This is an example of the damage that corn rootworms inflict on crops. The rootworm has caused more economic losses in western U.S. Corn Belt states, according to a new Purdue-led study.

Corn Rootworm (3).jpeg — Corn rootworms swarm and feed. The insect pest is a problem throughout much of the U.S. Midwestern Corn Belt. A multi-institutional team led by Purdue University documents how overplanting of corn that is resistant to the pest is reducing farmers’ profits.
