China will likely plant less than 1% of its corn fields with genetically modified varieties this year, said two people familiar with the plans, dashing hopes for a full market launch of the technology in the world's second-largest corn market.

Farmers plant crops such as rice, corn, cane, cotton and soybeans in the rainy months of June and July, with harvests from October.

Sowing of summer-sown crops such as soybean, cotton, corn and pulses has been delayed in India due to the slow progress of monsoon rains in central and western parts of the country, raising concerns over output, industry officials told Reuters.

Some of these foods sold at supermarkets also carry labels clearly indicating that they have been genetically modified. Here are six most common genetically modified foods that you may find at superstores.

According to a new report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal, a team of scientists have discovered a way to genetically engineer corn to produce a type of amino acid that is found in meat.

If there's anything that truly defines the essence of Indian monsoon, it is a bhutta, which is one of the oldest summer crop popularly savoured in the rainy season.

260 million farmers depend on monsoon rains to grow crops such as rice, cane, corn, cotton and soybeans because nearly half of the country's farmland lacks irrigation.

There are two reasons we shouldn't shift away from a system where most calories come from staples and few from vegetables, even if we could: Vegetables are too expensive, and they require too much land.

Braving and bearing the brunt of summers can be quite challenging. From health to skin and hair, maintaining all can certainly be daunting. Corn is one such wonder crop that can get us rid of most of our probable nightmares this summer. Here are 15 of our best corn recipes with step by step process for you to easily cook at home!

German pharmaceutical giant Bayer sees in agro-industry giant Monsanto a gem worth at least $62 million for its dominant global position selling seeds sought by farmers of corn, soybeans, cotton and other commodity crops.

The country's food grain production from summer-sown crops is likely to drop 1.8 percent from a year ago to 124.05 million tonnes due to a steep fall in corn production, the government said in a statement on Wednesday.

India's summer-sown corn output is likely to drop more than 15 per cent this year as the first back-to-back drought in three decades wilts crops and forces farmers to let land lie fallow, trade and industry officials said.

India's monsoon rainfall has been below average in the past week after running through a phase above average since early August which helped finish the last leg of sowing of main summer crops such as rice, corn, sugar cane, soybean and cotton.

A late surge in the monsoon rains has come as a relief to farmers who can now begin to plant summer crops such as rice, corn, cane, soybean and cotton.
