    Bt-cotton is a genetically modified cotton plant that produces an insecticidal toxin from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). It was introduced in India in 2002 and within a few years became the dominant cotton variety grown. Farmers growing Bt-cotton reported significantly higher yields with fewer pesticide applications required, helping make India the largest producer and exporter of cotton in the world.
