- Abstract
The authors discuss the effectivity of Bt maize in the improvement of smallholder agriculture in South Africa. They note that Bt maize yields insecticidal proteins providing resistance to maize stem borer and the Chilo borer. They contend that government fund may be spent on support for further development and distribution of open pollinated varieties of maize.
