#Why some GM CROPS fail to fight pests University of Arizona rightoriginal Studyposted by Daniel Stolte-Arizona on June 18 2013u.
ARIZONA (US)# Some genetically modified crops deter pests for a decade or longer while others fail after a few years.
Since 1996 farmers worldwide have planted more than 1 billion acres (400 million hectares) of genetically modified corn and cotton that produce insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt for short.
However some scientists feared that widespread use of these proteins in genetically modified crops would spur rapid evolution of resistance in pests.
It could be the biggest change to agriculture in rich countries since genetically modified crops. And it is proving nearly as controversial
It is GMO CROPS watch the documentary on Netflix or go to rt. com Brainless Americans you are the reasons corporations have taken over our government
and the supreme court and Obama just signed a bill protecting monsanto and GMO CROPS. I bet you watch fox news
this piece argues how banning the cultivation of genetically modified crops in certain European countries will a chilling affect on scientific innovation in that part of the world.
Beginning with Scotland prohibition on domestic genetically modified crop cultivation on Aug 9, Europe scientists and farmers watched with mounting dismay as other countries followed suit.
Only then can extensive field testing begin along with the regulatory process for genetically modified crops. The approach will likely be limited at first to a few plants that researchers are particularly good at genetically modifying such as potatoes tomatoes eggplant and peppers.
