Subject: RE: More on European GMO conclusions.



Roanoke, IN
Plenty of spin. First one that jumped out at me was 90% less insecticide used on gmo corn in the cute little picture.

How many lbs of Bt insecticide does the average acre of Bt GMO corn produce? Also the source document stated insecticide use declined in both GMO and n-gmo in that same time period. Of course this was back in 2010. Are American farmers making more insecticide applications to gmo corn now or in 2010?

Oh also they measure insecticide use as lbs of active ingredient applied. What happens when we switch from high weight ai/ac insecticides to using low weight ai/ac insecticides? It appears use has declined when actually there are more acre treatments of insecticide.

Didn't really care to read the rest of the propaganda.
