Bt cotton in China slashes pesticide use, boosts farmer profits
Biotechnology, like Bt cotton in China, can help reduce pesticide use for farmers. The study shows that Bt cotton cuts down on the number of pesticide sprayings, the amount of pesticides used, and the money spent on pesticides. Both foreign and Chinese Bt cotton varieties work equally well. Using Bt cotton not only saves labor and makes production more efficient but also has positive effects on health and the environment.
