Effects of genetically modified maize (MON810) and its residues on the functional diversity of microorganisms in two South African soils

Effects of genetically modified maize (MON810) and its residues on the functional diversity of microorganisms in two South African soils

Genetically modified (GM) crops are commercially cultivated worldwide but there are concerns on their possible negative impacts on soil biodiversity. A glasshouse study was conducted to determine effects of Bt maize residues on soil microbial diversity. Residues of Bt maize (PAN 6Q-308B) and non-Bt...
