Default Andhra Pradesh will compensate cultivators of Bt cotton crops

For me, this "case" just smells of ploitics (in a negative sense) and
mismanagement. The problem here does not seem to be the GM crops per se,
but the apparently irresponsible forecasts for the harvest.
Unfortunately, this case will probably be (ab)used in the already
emotionally overcharged discussion about GM crops.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,

There doesn't appear to be much science behind the failure claims.

There is a study from Februeary on 2001 crop results. It is all over the net but
