Describe the effects of the ECB infestations you used. Were all corn varieties equally effective at controlling the ECB? How do you know?

On the infestations I used on the golden crop corn, I did not infest them at all and the weight was abundant. On the bt 456, the I used a low concentration and the numbers were lower, but not by much. On the bt123 a low concentration was used, however, the numbers were not far from the bt 456 at a low infestation. Superharvest was used at a high concentration and the numbers were substantially low. The corn varieties were not equally yolked at controlling the ecb. Based of my data, the corn seed make the
