No. The National Organic Program guidelines prohibit use of GMO seeds for crops labeled "organic". GMO crops can't be sold as organic produce.
However, if a crop is grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides, it's "organic", it just can't be labeled or sold as organic.

∙ 12y agoNo, it is not possible for GMO varieties to be used to produce organic foods. True organic foods are free of GMOs. Also, many GMO varieties are developed either to withstand higher levels of chemical pesticides and/or herbicides or, as I understand it, to produce levels of herbicides and/or insecticides themselves, making them unsuitable for organic production.
