  • Publication number: 20080064735
    Abstract: Method for controlling harmful organisms in genetically modified vegetable plants containing a gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, said gene encoding and expressing a protein with an insecticidal action, wherein an insecticidally active quantity of one or more compounds from the following groups (a) to (f) is applied to the plants, their seeds or propagation material and/or the area in which they are cultivated: a) insecticidal organophosphorus compounds; b) pyrethroids; c) insecticidal carbamates; d) biopesticides; e) insecticidal growth regulators; f) others. The inventive method makes possible a reduced application rate of crop protectants which act synergistically with the transgenic plants, in addition to an increased and wider-ranging efficiency of said transgenic plants, thus offering economic and ecological advantages.
