The Associated Press reports on a recent Iowa State University study which shows that farmers in the Mid West of the United States, who planted Bt (genetically modified, GM) corn (maize) from 1996 to 1998, succeeded in reducing their insecticide use each year.
Bt maize is genetically engineered to produce a protein that is toxic to some insects, including the European corn borer. The insects die after feeding on GM maize leaves and stalks.
