Veronica Yurchak publishes her thesis research on degradation of Bt in post-harvest corn tissue!

We are pleased to have Veronica publish her research on the degradation of Bt proteins in corn residue as affected by post-harvest practices. She performed her research in the Hooks and Dively lab, with contributions by Bill. Our connection with Veronica goes back to her undergraduate years when she took Bill's Freshwater Biology course. Her research demonstrated that Bt proteins maintained biological activity for as long as 24 weeks after harvest when residue was left above the ground, such as found in no-till systems. The article may be found here.
