BT stands for a bacterium "Bacillus Thuringiensis" and BT crops are genetically engineered crops.A genetically engineered plant is generated in a laboratory by altering its genetic makeup. This is usually done by adding one or more genes to a plant's genome using genetic engineering techniques. Agene of "Bacillus Thuringiensis" is inserted to the genome of BT plant to produce a new plant that is BT plant.
