MINNEAPOLIS -- This corn turns out to be a good neighbor. Corn that's been genetically engineered to resist attacking borers produces a "halo effect" that provides huge benefits to other corn planted ...

LOS ANGELES — Planting genetically modified, pest-resistant corn can provide a halo effect — offering protection from insects to nearby corn plants that have not been engineered to kill bugs, ...

Since the borers that attack the genetically modified crops die, there are fewer of them to go after the non-modified version.Given that the corn borer has cost U.S. farmers $1 billion a year, the ...

Farmers in dozens of countries have embraced crops genetically engineered to produce proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria that kill some key pests yet are safe for people and wildlife.
