This document discusses recent developments and future prospects for insect pest control using transgenic crops. It reviews strategies being developed for novel transgenic insect pest control approaches. While transgenic crops expressing Bt toxins have benefits like higher yields and reduced pesticide use, there are concerns about the durability of pest resistance and potential pollution of non-transgenic crops. New research looks at incorporating genes from wild plants and cultural practices like refuges to address these issues. The effects of transgenic insect-resistant crops on non-target insects and their predators are also considered.
