Drifting bioengineered pollen will pollute organic crops, they say, and insects will destroy what is left after feeding on transgenic corn and developing resistance to natural pesticides.
Aventis has also extended the buyback program to cover other corn crops grown within 660 feet of StarLink fields, some of which may have been fertilized by drifting StarLink pollen.

Amid the clamor of garbage trucks and traffic noise, his studio emerges a sanctuary, backlit by early morning light, drifting with gold dust or pollen on the air.
First, our results highlight the potential for differential vulnerability of species to inbreeding, genetic drift and pollen limitation as a result of habitat fragmentation [15], [59], [60].
He tries to imagine his remains – or, as Beckett puts it, "to conceive of his exuviae" – "as preserved in an urn or other receptacle in some kind person's sanctum or as drifting about like a cloud of randy pollen, but somehow he could not quite bring it off, this simple little flight".
