The density of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) populations on Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) transgenic cotton, corn. peanut. and soybean: differences in its development on Bt cotton and common (nontransgenic) cotton and the potential for mating among populations from Bt cotton fields and other crop fields were investigated in the suburbs of Xinxiang City (Henan Province) and Langfang City (Hebei Province) in the southern and northern parts of north China, respectively, Although development of H. armigera on Bt cotton was much slower than on common cotton. there was a still high probability of mating between populations from Bt cotton and other sources due to the scattered emergence pattern of H. armigera adults, and overlap of the second and third generations. In a cotton and corn growing region. early and late planted Corn provided Suitable refugia for the third and fourth generations of H armigera, but not for the second generation. In a cotton and soybean/peanut mix system, noncotton crops provided a natural refugia from the second- to fourth-generation H, armigera, but function of the refuge would closely depend on the proportion of Bt cotton. Consequently. it may be necessary to compensate the original mixed cropping patterns in different areas for delaying resistance development of H. armigera to Bt cotton.
