This […]

It looks like Dow-DuPont’s genetically modified Herculex corn is no longer controlling the western bean cutworm. This corn was engineered to express a protein called Cry1F, toxic to the pests that feed on corn kernels and lead to fungus growth. This control failure is the latest in a series that are collectively undermining the efficacy […]
