MANILA, Philippines – The commercialization of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn in 2003 has raised farmers’ yields and incomes and reduced soil erosion, scientist Dr. Benigno Peczon says in a recent paper.
Writing on the status of biotechnology in the Philippines for Biolife magazine, Peczon said Bt corn is genetically modified to control insect larvae called corn borers, which had been a bane to farmers since corn was cultured in the country.
