Insect resistant crops (IRC)
Should reduce use of insecticides.
This is beneficial to environment because:
- More beneficial insects around as they are not killed by insecticides
- less impact on food web as not eradicating part of the food chain.
- Effect of insect resistant crops on other organisms
- Possible effect on non-target organisms who eat plant (student not expected to have read any research but could hypothesise)
- Possible impact on food web connections from a decrease in insect populations.
