Farmers planting the genetically-engineered Bt corn are asking seed producers to make planting materials more affordable.


A study by the Biotechnology Coalition of  the Philippines (BCP) show that while more corn farmers are adopting Bt corn since its commercial release in 2002, majority still find planting materials very expensive.

                    [Summary] => The Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) recently approved for commercial production the fourth biotech corn variety known as "stacked-trait corn" or Mon810/NK developed by Monsanto Philippines. 


According to the BPI, the stacked-train corn is a superior variety, since it is both resistant to insects while tolerant with herbicides.


Through genetic engineering, the company introduced the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gene that enables the corn plant to resist the attacks of Asiatic corn borer, a dreaded insect pest that can cause as much as 80-percent yield reduction.
