Response of the Asian corn borer (ACB) to the Bt corn hybrid, MON89034, was determined using leaf disc and whole plat bio-assays at the vegetative stage against second instars of Isabela and Laguna [Philippines] ACB populations. Survival of ACB larvae was low on Bt corn while survival was consistently higher on non-Bt corn, NK603. No significant difference was observed between Laguna and Isabela ACB populations. Results showed that the transgenic corn hybrid, MON890034, may provide protection against the second instars of the ACB.
