Bt (bacillus thuringiensis) corn is a critical technology for many farmers to protect fields against insects. Refuge helps preserve the benefits of Bt technology, according to Take Action ...

the first genetically engineered corn hybrid trait lethal to corn rootworms and derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was introduced. Since then, farmers have extensively used "Bt ...

In recent years, much effort has also been devoted to developing corn hybrids with genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that encode insecticidal proteins. Some of these hybrids have exhibited ...

The GM corn contains genes for a protein from a common soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), and is prevalent in more than 30% of the corn grown in the United States. Milkweed plants ...

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 ...

An analysis of data covering 12 years and 10 U.S. Corn Belt states reveals that farmers suffer economic loss from the overuse of genetically engineered corn designed to combat rootworm pests.
