| Take a look at this document. I will draw your attention to Table 5.6, page 35. Table 5.5, page 34, includes all market segments. Table 5.6 is the ag sector only. I believe RR soybeans were introduced in the mid-1990's, maybe 1994?, and I believe RR corn was introduced the following year? Are my dates correct, or close? From those charts it looks to me like the useage of pesticides - at least in the ag sector - peaked around the time of the introduction of RR crops, and has declined in following years. At least thru 2007, which is as far as this report goes. Kinda pokes a hole in your theory that pesticide use has increased since the introduction of GMO corn and soy, doesn't it? You can spew all the lies you want. That does not make them true.
