Genetic Engineeringcant reduce the use of insectides. In fact, there is demonstrable evidence from the US Dept of Agriculture's own data that in fact, since the introduction of Genetic Engineering there has been an overall increase in the use of insecticides.
Its perfectly logical when one considers that the companies (E.g. Monsanto) who own the patent on the Genetically Engineered (aka Genetically Modified) plant that is resistant to herbicide/insecticide, also owns the patent rights to the herbicide/insecticide. It is in the corporations best interests to increase the use of pesticides. Think about it - why would a corporation kill the goose that lays the golden egg? It pays to remember: biotechnology companies are also the world's biggest agrichemical companies.
the gene transfers have made crop plants more resistant to insects
Genetic engineering involves the use of recombinant DNA technology, the process by which a DNA sequence is manipulated in vitro, thus creating recombinant DNA molecules that have new combinations of genetic material

Science is always neutral; it is what people use it for, that is the blessing or curse.

if Jesus wanted us to use genetic engineering, he would've put it in the bible. but for Mormons it's alright.

Insecticides in gardening or agriculture are used to reduce the population of an insect which is causing harm to the crop to an acceptable level. They can range from something as simple as an insecticidal soap (such as dish soap) to very complex and very poisonous commercial insecticides which kill all the insects in its application range.
They use an enzyme to cut the insulin gene out of the chromosome.
The same things that have motivated people to use conventional breeding methods in agriculture and to use conventional medical techniques to better treat diseases in medicine. Genetic engineering just offers additional options, it does not have different motivations.

This type of genetic modification is very useful in modern society. We use genetically engineered products often. Insulin is an example and it is produced in a similar manner as described by the above question.
