Interaction of insecticidal proteins from Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus thuringiensis for boll weevil management.

ABSTRACT: Cotton crop yields are largely affected by infestations of Anthonomus grandis, which is its main pest. Although Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) derived proteins can limit insect pest infestations, the diverse use of control methods becomes a viable alternative in order to prolong the use of technology in the field. One of the alternative methods to Bt technology has been the utilization of certain Pseudomonas species highly efficient in controlling coleopteran insects have been used to produce highly toxic insecticidal proteins. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of IPD072Aa and PIP-47Aa proteins, isolated from Pseudomonas spp., in interaction with Cry1Ia10, Cry3Aa, and Cry8B proteins isolated from B. thuringiensis, to control A. grandis in cotton crops. The genes IPD072Aa and PIP-47Aa
