Abstract
Onfarm
field
trials
carried
out
with
Bacillus
thuringiensis
(Bt)
cotton
in
different
states
of
India
show
that the
technology
substantially
reduces
pest
damage
and
increases
yields
. The
yield
gains
are
much
higher
than what has been
reported
for
other
countries
where
genetically
modified
crops
were
used
mostly
to
replace
and
enhance
chemical
pest
control
. In
many
developing
countries
,
small-scale
farmers
especially
suffer
big
pest-related
yield
losses
because
of
technical
and
economic
constraints
.
Pest-resistant
genetically
modified
crops
can
contribute
to
increased
yields
and
agricultural
growth
in those
situations
, as the
case
of
Bt
cotton
in
India
demonstrates
.
