MONSANTO. THE OTHER SIDE OF GENMOD. FOREVER FLAVOR. Bad Seed: Danger of Genetically Modified Food. Monsanto GM Corn in Peril: Beetle develops Bt-resistance. Rady Ananda, Contributing WriterActivist Post Nature herself may be the best opponent of genetically modified crops and pesticides. Not only plants, but insects are also developing resistance. The Western rootworm beetle – one of the most serious threats to corn – has developed resistance to Monsanto’s Bt-corn, and entire crops are being lost.
Farmers from several Midwest states began reporting root damage to corn that was specifically engineered with a toxin to kill the rootworm. Iowa State University entomologist Aaron Gassmann recently confirmed that the beetle, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, has developed resistance to the Bt protein, Cry3Bb1. Bacillus thuringiensis – Bt – is a bacterium that kills insects. Two-thirds of all US corn is genetically modified per the USDA, and the bulk of that is Bt-corn. In response to the July 2011 study, Monsanto said only the “YieldGard® VT Triple and Genuity® VT Triple PRO™ corn products” are affected.
