Traits introduced into crops by genetic engineering (GE).
Third World through higher yields. They also disprove claims that the plants, engineered to include their own pesticide, would need to be sprayed less often with chemicals. Conclusion Herbicide tolerant plants are likely to be useful only temporarily. Recent scientific reports indicate that they will not provide higher yields. ...
