Abstract
On November 10, 2002, people wearing 'Bollgard' caps visited cotton farmer R Narsimha Reddy at his home in Aleru, a village in Nalgonda, Andhra Pradesh. Bollgard cotton (Bt cotton) is Monsanto's proprietary gene technology developed to defend the pest-prone cotton crop from the notorious bollworm. Seeds impregnated with a toxic gene from the bacterium Bacillus thurigensis (Bt) are marketed in India by the Mahyco-Monsanto joint venture, in which the US agrochemical giant holds a 26 per cent stake. Reddy's visitors were interested in knowing how his Bt cotton crop was faring.
