The researchers found that populations of other cotton pests, particularly
ones called mirids, have blossomed. These were once killed by the same
broad-spectrum pesticides used to control the bollworm.

Well, that's kind of disturbing. Stop using the pesticides, the pests bloom. Do organic farmers know something the GM-using farmers don't?
