Safety and advantages of Bacillus thuringiensis-protected plants to control insect pests. Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology 32, 156-173
| Betz F., Hammond, BG, Fuchs, RL (2000).
| Bt-protected crops provide a highly effective control of major insect pests such as the European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm, pink bollworm and Bolorado potato beetle, produce higher yields in cotton and corn and reduce reliance on conventional chemical pesticides. Insect resistance managment plans are being implemented to ensure the prolonged effectiveness of these products. Acute, subchronic and chronic toxicology studies establish the safety of microbial Bt products, mammalian toxicology and digestive fate studies of proteins produced in the Bt crops, have confirmed that these proteins are nontoxic to humans and pose no significant concern for allergenicity. Food and feed derived from Bt cropshave been shown to be substantially equivalent to food and feed from conventional crops.
