ST. PAUL, Minn. — While European corn borer once caused substantial yield losses and economic damage for corn growers across the United States, the pest has not been a major cause of concern since Bt ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Corn farmers could learn a lesson from cotton producers: Planting crops genetically engineered to be insect-resistant works in the short run, but also could increase the number ...

For more than 20 years, farmers across the globe have been planting crops, including corn, cotton, and soybeans, that have been genetically modified to express insecticide genes from the bacterium ...

(Beyond Pesticides, February 14, 2008) Researchers have found what they are calling the first insect resistance in the field to genetically engineered plants that are modified to produce an ...

“This is really the first field test of a resistance-management strategy for a Bt crop,” says Anthony M. Shelton of Cornell University. Starting in 1995, the Environmental Protection Agency registered ...
