Performance of Dinarmus basalis on GM or non-GM cowpea lines (experiment 2).

Performance was assessed as emergence rate and offspring sex-ratio of D. basalis parental generation females (P) as well as by the developmental time and dry weight of males and by the developmental time, realized fecundity, and offspring sex ratio of females of the first filial generation (F1). P females were provided a single Zabrotes subfasciatus larval host developing in a αAI-1 GM or corresponding null-pair control line seed. F1 females were provided Z. subfasciatus larvae developing in cowpeas of the breeding variety ad libitum. Means are presented with standard error.aGM lines are indicated with an asterisk.bValues are compared pairwise using Fisher’s exact test.cValues are compared pairwise using Student’s t test.
