                    [Summary] => 



Many of the "good guys" in the insect world are back in Philippine farms.


In corn fields, particularly.


Credit for this encouraging development goes mainly to genetically modified organisms (GMO), specifically the so-called Bt corn.


Bt stands for Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium that naturally occurs in soil.

                    [Summary] => Much more income can be derived from planting genetically modified crops, among them Bt corn, than common varieties, a new publication reported.


In one hectare, a farmer earned an average net income of P21,599, or almost double the P11,467 realized by another who planted non-Bt corn.


The profit advantage easily offset the high cost of seeds, which was P4,177 per bag, as against the P2,130 per bag of non-Bt corn seeds.
