Corn rootworms are the number-one pest of corn, costing farmers hundreds of millions of dollars a year in pesticides and lost crop yields. By being the first pest ever to evolve a way of foiling crop rotations, the corn rootworm may have given genetically modified (GM) crops their biggest boost ever. Now, Agricultural Research Service researchers are partnering with industry to test GM corn's ability to curb this adaptable pest.

Crop rotations are the standard nonchemical way farmers--both conventional and organic--keep pest levels down. The idea is to plant a crop, ...
