[Spatial model of development of resistance to transgenic insecticidal crop in a pest as applied to the European corn borer].

A mathematical model of the development of resistance to transgenic Bt-crop in insect-pest populations as applied to the European corn borer has been constructed. The model represents a system of differential equations in special derivatives of the reaction-diffusion type. Local interactions of three competing pest genotypes formed by the allele of Bt-resistance and allele of susceptibility, are described by the same relations as in the Kostitsyn model, and the spread of insects is modelled as diffusion.
