Pests could overcome GM cotton toxins: Nature Newslaboratory studies suggest that it may be possible for insects to overcome two disparate toxins produced by genetically modified cotton.
The results strike a cautionary note at a time when developers are racing to create crops that produce many different pesticides.
One of the most common'pyramided'crops on the market is cotton that produces two different'Bt'toxins made naturally by the bacterium Bacillus thuringensis.
The researchers were studying pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) a particular nuisance in the cotton fields of the southern United states. Crops expressing Cry1ac have held thus far largely the pest at bay,
But this does not pose a threat for control by the current pyramided Bt cotton of this insect Tabashnik says.

Nature Newsgrowing cotton that has been modified genetically to poison its main pest can lead to a boom in the numbers of other insects,
In 1997, the Chinese government approved the commercial cultivation of cotton plants genetically modified to produce a toxin from the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that is deadly to the bollworm Helicoverpa armigera.
More than 4 million hectares of Bt cotton are grown now in China. Since the crop was approved
covering 3 million hectares of cotton and 26 million hectares of various other crops. Numbers of mirid bugs (insects of the Miridae family), previously only minor pests in northern China, have increased 12-fold since 1997,
Their rise in abundance is associated with the scale of Bt cotton cultivation. Wu and his colleagues suspect that mirid populations increased
because less broad-spectrum pesticide was used following the introduction of Bt cotton. Mirids are not susceptible to the Bt toxin
Mirids can reduce cotton yields just as much as bollworms, up to 50%when not controlled, Wu adds.
The rise of mirids has driven Chinese farmers back to pesticides they are currently using about two-thirds as much as they did before Bt cotton was introduced.
New york, concluded that the economic benefits of Bt cotton in China have eroded2. The team attributed this to increased pesticide use to deal with secondary pests.
For example, the boll weevil was once the main worldwide threat to cotton. As farmers sprayed pesticides against the weevils,
bollworms developed resistance and rose to become the primary pest. Similarly, stink bugs have replaced bollworms as the primary pest in southeastern United states
since Bt cotton was introduced. Along with genetically modified crops, says Andow, farmers need effective systems for responding to changes in pest abundance.
and trying to reduce mirid damage to cotton by growing crops the pests prefer nearby.
Meanwhile, Chinese researchers are trying to develop cotton plants that kill both bollworms and mirids. Wu stresses,

Sterile moths wipe out cotton pest: Nature Newsbetween May and October for four consecutive years, aeroplanes crisscrossed the morning skies above Arizona's cotton fields, dropping millions of tiny moths onto the croplands below.
The little grey insects are among the world's most notorious agricultural pests: their larvae are the pink bollworms (Pectinophora gossypiella), also known as'pinkies'.
'However, the moths released from the planes were different from those responsible for the caterpillars munching their way through the state's cotton crops.
and genetically modified cotton crops, engineered to produce a toxin deadly to pinkies, would put an end to farmers'costly struggle against the caterpillars.
genetically modified cotton crops had driven already down the population one million-fold, says Tabashnik. The crops produce a toxin that is made naturally by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis
To his surprise, the models suggested that the combination of Bt cotton and sterile-moth releases could wipe out pest populations
about 2 billion pink bollworm moths were released into Arizona's cotton fields. By 2009, a survey of 16,600 cotton bolls from conventional crops yielded only two pink bollworm larvae,
and farmers had stopped using insecticide sprays to keep the pinkie population in check. So far, no live pink bollworm caterpillars have been found in bolls of cotton this season,
says Tabashnik. The results are tremendous says entomologist William Hutchison at the University of Minnesota in St paul,
it's conceivable that farmers will someday no longer have a use for Bt cotton at all.
