What is genetically modified corn transgenic? Does field chemical control still need to be done?

Hello everyone, there has been a lot of discussion about genetically modified corn in recent times, and there are good and bad ones, but in any case, the current state has approved some planting licenses for genetically modified corn and soybeans, and they have been sold in some designated areas. Regardless of whether these areas are currently outside the scope of our cultivation. We still need to have a certain understanding of what genes are transgenic in these currently approved transgenic varieties. In order to facilitate the management of planting in the field.

At present, the main transgenic genes of transgenic varieties basically contain two categories, the first type is the insect resistance gene, and the main insect-resistant species are lepidopteran pests, such as corn borer and armyworm. The second category is herbicide resistance genes, mainly glyphosate resistance to this type of herbicide.

If you're planting, you might still have a question, since I'm using genetically modified corn varieties, do I still need to spray insecticides and fungicides? Let's take a look at it with Xiaoyan.

First of all, there are many kinds of corn pests in addition to corn borer and corn armyworm, for example, there are also pests with stinging and sucking mouthparts such as aphids and double-spotted glowworms, and genetically modified corn has no resistance to this kind of pests. Therefore, in the process of management, we still have to carry out chemical control operations to prevent and prevent insect pests in the field.

**10,000 Flour Incentive Plan For corn diseases, there is no disease resistance effect found in the two types of gene fragments, so the prevention and control of diseases in the control process must also be prevented. Some fungicides are still used.

To sum up, it can be seen that if you plant genetically modified corn, you must also carry out field control operations, so as to get a good harvest. For the planting of genetically modified organisms, what else do you think needs to be paid attention to, you can discuss it in the comment area.
