A simple look at Biotechnology and how it is applied to our everyday lives. Learn how farmers are using BT cotton, which is a pest resistant cotton to increase their yields.
For cotton growers, there is a lot of pressure from pests like tobacco budworms, cotton bollworms, and pink bollworms. Attacks from these pests reduces cotton yields significantly, resulting in huge losses. In 1995, attacks from these pests reduced U.S. cotton yields by over 4%, or by over a quarter billion dollars worth of cotton. In some states such as Alabama, budworm damage reduced Alabama yields by 29% despite growers applying the highest applications of insecticide in the US.
