Long-term analysis showed GM cotton no match for insects in India

On Mar. 13, 2020, Washington University in St. Louis announced the first long-term study of Bt cotton impacts in India. Bt cotton is credited with tripling cotton production during 2002-2014. But the largest production gains came prior to widespread seed adoption and must be viewed in line with changes in fertilization practices and other pest population dynamics, according to the study published in Nature Plants.<./p>
