I would like to know if genetically rice crops are resistant to pesticides. I 
read from some websites that genetically modified crops require more usage 
pesticides because of its resitance against herbicides.But, again, there are 
also some websites that mentioned that genetically modified crops are 
resistant to pesticiddes. Which websites are more reliable. What are the 
actual effects? Kindly enlighten me as soon as possible. Thank you very much. 
Have a nice day.
