Best answer

Bt cotton is made resistant to only certain specific taxa of pests. It is quite likely that in future, some other pests may infest the Bt cotton plants. It is similar to immunisation against small-pox which does not provide immunity against other pathogens like those that cause cholera, typhoid, etc.
