Abstract
There is evidence of rising secondary pests in Bt cotton fields in recent years and potential rise in bollworm resistance to Bt protein. Moreover, some field surveys indicate that farmers lack information on proper use of GM technology. China’s Bt seed industry is growing and diversifying, however it is not clear if the seed market is sufficiently transparent and well regulated enough to provide farmers with information about products so they can effectively utilize new seeds. GM crop biosafety management in China is another topic of this paper, which combines published articles, as well as chapter overviews for a book publication.
