Crop residue composition and decomposition in transgenic corn agroecosystems: effects of bacillus thuringiensis gene and herbivory
Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) corn (Zea mays L.) is reported to have a higher lignin concentration and be more resistant to degradation compared to conventional non-Bt (NBt) hybrids. NBt hybrids are physically affected by the European corn borer (ECB, Ostrinia nubilalis H.), which could increase the d...
