Answer 8

Well you get that result when you type it into google but a baby like me digs deeper B)
"Since 1996 plants have been modified with short sequences of genes from Bt to express the crystal protein Bt makes. With this method, plants themselves can produce the proteins and protect themselves from insects without any external Bt and/or synthetic pesticide sprays. In 1999, 29 million acres of Bt corn, potato and cotton were grown globally. It has been estimated that by using Bt protected cotton, the United States was able to save approximately $92 million.

Bt GM crops are protected specifically against European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm, pink bollworm and the Colorado potato beetle. Other benefits attributed to using Bt include:

Reduced environmental impacts from pesticides – When the plants are producing the toxins in their tissues there is no need to spray synthetic pesticides or apply Bt mixtures topically."

Answer 27

Personally, I think that BT corn is unpleasant. Therefore I believe that farmers should not continue farming it. BT corn does alot of damage to plants and animals. BT corn also causes allergies which may also lead to death. To avoid these risk factors farmers must stop planting BT corn.

Answer 60

Its corn with BT infront of it

Answer 61

@pooja195 You are not correct about the issues with BT corn. It does not cause any increase in allergies compared to non-BT corn. It definitely does not lead to damage to animals (except some insects that it is designed to), nor other plants.

All of this is avoiding the real issues and, in my opinion, is a smokescreen that the conglomerates involved are happy to keep in the media. Why? Because it is easy to dismiss these arguments, much easier than addressing the real issue: the reliance on mono-strain crop cultures and artificial fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides.

Corn is a horrible crop to mass farm. It devours nitrogen and leads to huge amounts of nitrogen being dumped into the ecosystems, the lack of multiple genotypes means that a novel and virulent pathogen could collapse an entire year's crop across entire continents. The resistance of certain pesticides and herbicides means these chemicals are sprayed across the arable land in vast quantities. The chemicals will kill far more than the pest organisms in the corn crops.
