GM Brinjal, also known as Bt Brinjal, is a genetically modified eggplant developed to provide protection against the Fruit and Shoot Borer (FSB), one of the most destructive pests affecting brinjal cultivation. The crop contains a gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), enabling the plant to resist targeted insect attacks while reducing the need for chemical insecticide applications. This topic covers GEAC reviews, biosafety studies, regulatory approvals, environmental assessments, food safety evaluations, farmer adoption trends, biotechnology policies, pest management strategies, and the future of GM vegetables in India and global agriculture.
