<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I most recently used B.t. this past Autumn
on corn and tomatoes. On the tomatoes, one spray left the inchworms dead
as doornails by the next day. The same batch of spray had no noticeable
effect on the corn borers, except for those that I picked off and squashed on
the pavement with the bottom of the spray bottle. That was 100%
effective. I wondered if perhaps I sprayed the corn borers too late, or
wasn’t able to get the Bt on the parts of the plants that they were
eating, but my method was the same as had been successful in years past. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>There are a number of papers out about
growing resistance of European Corn Borers to Bt, theoretically a result of the
widespread use of genetically modified corn, and the transfer of that
resistance to other critters. I took the coward’s way out and chose
not to read them because there’s nothing I can do about it, and the whole
subject of our industrial-agriculture system just gives me a headache. If
you’re made of sterner stuff, you can find them by a web search using “bt
resistance.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
Hope everyone is doing great. My husband wanted to have me ask if anyone has
been having trouble with "Dipel" not working. I'm not sure that the
brand name we're using is "Dipel", but know it's the same thing. We
had been using a dry powder, which we've always had better luck with. We
thought maybe it wasn't working as well because the powder had gotten old, so
we bought new, but this time it's a liquid. We've sprayed several times and
it's not working either. We wondered if the worms are becoming resistant to the
stuff. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.<br>
