Changes to pesticide spraying could reduce GM harm

Leaving just 2% of transgenic crop rows unsprayed could boost diversity.

British crop researchers are claiming that they have developed a method to stop transgenic crops from damaging the biodiversity of weeds and seeds. By leaving two rows in every 100 unsprayed with pesticides, enough diversity can be preserved to prevent knock-on effects on birds and other animals, they calculate.
