What is a fairly effective (and government mandated) way to prevent BT resistant insects from evolving to counter your corn crops which are genetically engineered to produce BT (an effective and non-toxic insecticide)? Tell them they better not! Set a part of your field where you grow a version of your crop which does not have the gene to produce BT. Raise a different crop, such as kale in the field next to your corn field. Introduce new crops each year which are genetically engineered to produce more BT than those crops of the prior year. Keep doing this every year.
