Photos by Matin Qaim Genetically modified cotton crops produced greater yields, reduced pesticide use in India By Sarah Yang, Media Relations Berkeley - Cotton crops in India that were genetically modified to resist insects produced dramatically increased yields and significantly reduced pesticide use compared with non-bioengineered crops, according to the results of farm trials reported by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Bonn in Germany. The study, published Friday, Feb. 7, in the journal Science, holds particular promise for small-scale, low-income farmers in developing nations, said the researchers. These farmers, especially those in tropical regions, regularly risk large, pest-related crop losses because they cannot afford to use the pesticides available to larger farms.

But according to newspaper reports, Bt cotton crop failures in Gujarat http://www.indiatogether.org/agriculture/articles/gmanyway.htm

Agricultural Issues home page A mindless conviction Despite failures and warnings, GM foods find a supportive government October 2002, [IPS] - Dire warnings by food security experts and crop failures have not deterred India from going ahead with plans to allow farmers to grow genetically modified (GM) food crops that are developed indigenously, as well as from seeds supplied by transnational firms. In March this year, the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) under the Ministry of Environment and Forests cleared Bt Cotton for commercial planting. These are cotton seeds spliced with genes taken from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is deadly to the bollworm pest. The GEAC cleared Bt cotton, developed by the U.S. seed giant Monsanto, in spite of the legal challenges to its planting pending in the Supreme Court. These challenges alleged irregular testing by farmers' unions and non-government organizations led by the Research Foundation for Science Technology and Ecology (RFSTE). Now, farmers are reaping the bitter fruits of GM crops. There have been spectacular crop failures in the three major cotton growing states - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh. A fourth state, Karnataka, has banned the sale of Bt cotton seeds. Monsanto officials told IPS that the crop failures have been due to droughts followed by unseasonal rains, and that this resulted in root rot, to which the Bt cotton crops have no resistance. But according to newspaper reports, Bt cotton crop failures in Gujarat were due to bollworm attacks. This means, they say, that the Bt crop showed no resistance to bollworms, given the failures in the districts of Bhavnagar, Surendranagar and Rajkot. The state-run Gujarat Agricultural University has now been tasked by the state government to submit a detailed status report on the extent of the bollworm attack on the 18,000 hectares now planted to Bt cotton.

News Campaigns GE Food Organics ... email this page Farm Journal: Pollen In The Air Greg D. Horstmeier From the pages of the May/June 2001 edition of Farm Journal magazine. Imagine it's late July in the U.S. Corn Belt. Somewhere, a 100-acre field of corn is pollinating, casting to the winds some 13 trillion pollen grains. To that vision add that farmers will plant some 18.4 million acres of genetically modified (GM) hybrids this year. Add in the tens of thousands of acres of such things as GM inbreds, parent lines and experimental plots. Welcome to the land of milk and "adventitious presence." That's the latest buzzword for what happens when pollen ends up where it's not supposed to be. It was called outcrossing by seed companies back when their biggest concern was farmer complaints that a field was not consistent in plant height or color. In the seed. In these post-StarLink days, unintended pollen shed can mean the bag of seed corn you planted has more traits than you may have paid for or wanted. There is growing concern that farmers may plant seed

"We have asked all district collectors to take steps to procure BT cotton reaching markets. We plan to procure BT cotton to the extent possible," P.K Ghosh, principal secretary Forests and Environment in Gujarat, told Reuters. The government has already procured about 120 tonnes of bacillus thuringiensis (BT) cotton, he said. Earlier this month, several hundred farmers in Gujarat, the country's largest cotton growing state, were ordered to hand over genetically modified (GM) cotton crops to the government because commercial production of GM crops is illegal. The discovery of illegal growing of BT cotton had triggered a nation-wide debate among environmentalists and pro-farmer lobbies about the government's stand on commercialisation of GM crops.
