ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides new methods for controlling plant pests using transgenic plants. The methods control pests on a desired crop plant using transgenic pest trap plants of a different species or variety which are preferred host for the target pest, and thereby preferentially attract the pest. The pest trap plants comprise a gene encoding a protein toxic to the pest.
