Agricultural Biotech Cancer / Genetics Safe Pregnancy Critical Habitat ... Home Genetically Engineered Cotton in Jeopardy As with the last apparent failure of a related genetically engineered crop, Bt cotton, this is a case of the unknown. We may never know. In attempting to speak to a Monsanto scientist to ask why crop failures are occurring and were told that "the information is not available." The government does not require this reporting, leaving the public and the farming community in the dark about the cause of the problem. The USDA's Director of Biotechnology and Scientific Services admitted he was "totally unaware of the problem." We see a larger issue here. When Monsanto released its technology this year, they asserted it was "ready" for commercial scale application. But in this first year of large scale planting a significant portion of the released crops are failing. Should not Monsanto have anticipated this eventuality by field testing the 1997 crop? Should not geneticists have studied just where in the plant's genome its new gene was inserted? What occurred in the plant to make it shed its fruit prematurely?

DIONNE BUNSHA in Gandhinagar NARESHBHAI PATEL of Vadodara Lath village in Gandhinagar district did not know that he was growing genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton seeds in his farm. "The shopkeeper suggested that I try this new seed variety, called Navbharat-151. It was only later that I heard about the seeds on the television when the news broke that the government was threatening to burn the fields where Navbharat-151 seeds were sown," he said. DIONNE BUNSHA Karamsibhai Ladabhai Patel, a cotton farmer of Gandhinagar district, in his field where Navbharat-151 Bt cotton seeds were sown. The Government of India's Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) had no clue either. Navbharat-151 has been sold illegally in parts of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra for the past three years. The GEAC was caught unawares when the Maharashtra Hybrid Seeds Company Ltd.(Mahyco), which has applied for a licence to market Bt cotton seeds in India, complained that Navbharat-151 was a genetically modified variety and was being sold illegally. The GEAC'S failure to monitor the sale of GM seeds may cost hundreds of farmers dear, if the government carries out its threat (

The details of the research have been published in the journal Science. This study may be especially promising for small-scale, low-income farmers in developing countries, it is claimed.

The study by the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences, part of the Chinese Government's environmental protection administration, draws together laboratory and field work undertaken by four scientific institutions in China. It suggests that GM cotton, which incorporates a gene isolated from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), harms the natural parasitic enemies of the cotton bollworm, the pest that it is designed to control. It also indicates that populations of pests other than cotton bollworm had increased in Bt cotton fields and some had replaced it as primary pests. However, the leading GM company Monsanto, which controls more than 80 per cent of Bt cotton grown worldwide, dismissed the research. The industry has always cited GM cotton as its biggest success, because it can increase yields by up to 60 per cent and reduce the need for pesticides by 80 per cent.

Local producers say talking cotton in February is almost unheard of. While gins this time of year are usually shutdown - most Panhandle facilities are still bustling and bailing, and plan to be right through the end of the month. Between the record rains and drawn-out harvest, some producers, early on, didn't have a good outlook. But statewide, Texas has grown the most cotton, this season, ever. And several area gin managers admit they are bailing a record amount. Producers, with the new and northern-most operating gin in the state, the Carson County Gin, between Panhandle and White Deer, say anything that comes their way now seems insurmountable. Nationwide, 25 percent more cotton has been produced this season, versus last. Local industry experts admit the larger volume is probably contributing to lower market prices.

Ecology and Management of Helicoverpa Moths Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera are the major pests of cotton production in Australia. Our research on the ecology and behaviour of Helicoverpa spp. approaches the management of these pests from a broad regional perspective, rather than a narrow crop-based one, and aims to understand the processes that determine changes in abundance in cropping areas of northern New South Wales.

The GM or Ingard cotton variety contains genes from a soil borne bacteria which makes the cotton plant resistant to the main insect pest, the Heliothis caterpiller. This means that the Ingard cotton is really suited to using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control the insect pests; as opposed to just relying on chemical insecticides. When farmers are using IPM they can rely on plant resistance (like in GM cotton), beneficial insects and softer chemicals that are less toxic and safer for the environment.

38. GENE DREAM - Cotton Picking Blues Genetically engineered cotton crops like Monsanto’s NuCOTN failed miserably to live up to their genetic promise. Plants react to heat or cold, http://www.newint.org/issue293/cotton.htm

PENNY TWEEDIE / PANOS PICTURES Cotton picking blues Ricarda Steinbrecher finds that Nature has a few tricks up her sleeve Biotech companies intend to replace all our current crops with genetically engineered varieties of species like wheat, maize, oil seed rape, peanut, potato, squash, strawberries, trees and so on. They will shuffle the genes around, from flounder to strawberry, from human to pig, from virus to soya. The problem is that in nature there are always so many variables. Unfortunately humans seem to be the most problematic of all the variables, especially now that we are adding in a few extra ones of our own making. Not surprisingly, whilst trying to emulate nature, biotech scientists have had equally unpredictable results. For example, when they took a gene for red pigmentation (colouring) from maize and put it into petunia flowers they expected, quite reasonably, that the petunia would go red. But life is not so simple: the plants did go red, but they also showed other unexpected characteristics such as more leaves and shoots and lowered fertility. In another similar field test petunias that were expected to turn a darker shade of red suddenly lost the red pigmentation completely on some flowers or petals. Others reverted back from red to white. These results raised all sorts of questions about the nature of genes. Do they behave differently depending on where they are and what their neighbouring genes are? Does it matter if there are one or more copies of the same gene in one plant?

39. CSIRO Plant Industry Intranet Better water use in cotton crops. Australian cotton growers are set to build on Irrigation water requirements of a cotton crop depend on irrigation http://www.pi.csiro.au/enewsletter/previousEditions/003story2.htm

spring Better water use in cotton crops Australian cotton growers are set to build on their water saving efforts by managing their irrigation water use better through a new software package called HydroLOGIC. HydroLOGIC, developed by CSIRO Plant Industry as part of the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), helps cotton growers develop irrigation plans for their cotton crops to optimise water use and yield. Irrigation water requirements of a cotton crop depend on irrigation techniques, soil type, crop management, rainfall and evaporation. HydroLOGIC helps growers account for these variables to minimise water consumption yet satisfy their cotton crops’ needs. Cotton growers use HydroLOGIC by entering information throughout the growing season on the existing soil moisture deficit, determined through soil moisture monitoring equipment, fruit numbers and leaf area. The information is then processed by HydroLOGIC together with long term regional climate data to estimate crop yields and indicate optimum times for irrigation. HydroLOGIC also allows growers to investigate the effects of different irrigation timing on yield – to balance yield potential with water availability.
