Wonder who is the Agriculture Minister of SL... he must be a really wise guy...
About BT Cotton: It is made by inserting gene coding for Bt toxin so cotton produces insecticide in its tissues.This was done to control primary pests which got killed by the Bt protein in the transgenic cotton they eat.
China found that after seven years these secondary pests that were normally controlled by pesticide had increased, necessitating the use of pesticides at similar levels to non-Bt cotton and causing less profit for farmers because of the extra expense of GM seeds...lol
Good work LLR the Map shows good info.
