Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to VectoBac G and

insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability

any insect population. The
resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population
if
VectoBac G

of
VectoBac G on resistant
individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence
