GM crops especially Bt crops are known to have higher resistance to pest attacks. To substantiate this an experimental study was conducted in different farmlands growing Bt and non Bt-Cotton crops. The farm lands had the same dimensions, fertility and were under similar climatic conditions. The histogram below shows the usage of pesticides on Bt crops and non-Bt crops in these farm lands.
