a

Dipel and HD-1 concentrations are given in milligrams per liter. Cry1Ac concentrations are given in micrograms per gram of diet. The concentrations of Cyt1Aa were 40 mg per liter with Dipel and 1.6 μg per g of diet. For tests with HD-1, the concentration of Cyt1Aa varied as the concentration of HD-1 varied (see text). 

b

Mortality values were adjusted for control mortality values by using Abbott's correction. 

c

The effect of Cyt1Aa on mortality was calculated as follows: percent mortality with Cyt1Aa − percent mortality without Cyt1Aa. Overall, adding Cyt1Aa did not significantly increase mortality for diamondback moth or pink bollworm (sign test, P > 0.05). 

d

NA, not applicable.
