Bt maize produces its own Bt protein which kills any insect feeding on the maize plant.

Sediment-associated cry1Ab gene from Bt maize tended to decrease with distance from the Bt maize field.

Bt maize has been commercially released in South Africa.

We don’t have Bt brinjal, we don’t have Bt maize or drought-resistant maize or the canola,” he said.

So where does this unexpected difference between conventional and Bt maize come from?

Most likely, these GMOs came from Bt corn, because most transgenic corn is Bt corn.

In Bt corn, Bt protein is added to maize because of the high efficiency of its immune mechanism against pests .

Virtually all of today’s genetically engineered Bt corn is treated with neonics.

Virtually all of today's genetically engineered Bt corn is treated with neonicotinoids.

In the US, virtually all genetically modified Bt corncrops are treated with neonicotinoids.

For example:–Eating genetically engineered Bt corn may turn your intestinal flora into a sort of “living pesticide factory,” essentially manufacturing Bt-toxin from within your digestive system on a continuing basis

A classic example of this is Monsanto’s Bt Corn.

Why do people talk about monarch butterflies and Bt corn?

In October, 1998, the PBO was presented with the report Responsible Deployment of Bt Corn Technology in Ontario by the Bt Corn Coalition for adoption by Bt corn stakeholders in Canada.

Because Bt corn is constantly expressing an insecticide, everything around it is exposed to Bt.

Bt corn is a patented hybrid corn variety that has been engineered to express a genetically modified form of a natural insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis, or "Bt.
