INSECTS THRIVE ON GM 'PEST-KILLING' CROPS
BY GEOFFREY LEAN ENVIRONMENT EDITOR


rather makes a mess of the claims that GM crops were a threat to all
those
butterflies doesn't it

...

most insects targets of pesticides are more resistant to the same
pesticides than those that are not targets.

and the evidence for this rather broad statement is?

Jim Webster

my broad statement was preceded by the word "most"

try google using "beneficial insects" "pesticide application" "effects on"

Any integrated pest management user knows that pesticides and
beneficial insects are not very compatible.

exactly, but your argument is as much in support of GM with its lesser
pesticide use as it is against GM. Remember the alternative to GM is not
organic but other conventional
