Bt Cotton Proves It CAN Reduce Pesticide Use
http://www.salmone.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/biocontrol-bt-cotton.pdf
This article published in mid June 2012 is a landmark study that seems to prove that BTcotton can really reduce pesticide use in the long term as well as in the short term.
The geographical scope of the work is very wide across northern China, and results would seem to have a solid background.
There are other spinoffs too, as other damaging insects have also declined.
Worth reading.
