New research from the University of Arizona has shown us yet another example of the many ways in which GMO-crops (genetically modified organisms) fail to live up to the hype.<\/p>\n
In this case, the research found that the efficacy of pest control via GMO-use has been notably exaggerated — and that many assumptions about the technology\/approach and its effectiveness against common pests simply don’t match up with reality. These assumptions have been “overly optimistic” — as the researchers put it.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n While no one that’s looked into the actual track-record of GMO-crops very deeply should be surprised by this, the new research is still, of course, quite welcome — and clearly shows another chink in the rhetorical armor, so to speak.<\/p>\n
