Effects of genetically modified cotton on bollworms in China revealed in Science
A study in northern China indicates that genetically modified cotton, altered to express the insecticide, Bt, not only reduces pest populations among those crops, but also reduces pests among other nearby crops that have not been modified with Bt. These findings, reported in the latest issue of Science, could offer promising new ideas for controlling pests and maximizing crop yields in the future.
