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
