9 GMOs that may soon be approved
Dow AgroSciences Cotton
Genetically engineered to resist sprayings of the powerful herbicides 2,4-D and glufosinate, Dow says its cotton was partly created in response to the “growing incidence of glyphosate resistant weeds,” also known as "superweeds".
The cotton is genetically modified with a soil bacterium that expresses a gene that renders both herbicides inactive. The result: Spray all day, and your crop doesn't die.
