Just in case killing your sheep and goats weren't enough, after all that you end up w/ a substandard crop to harvest. The joys of GMO agriculture. But thanks to the lies and the pressure selling tactics of Monsanto in collusion w/ corrupt government officials you're now locked into a contract that has you obliged to be planting this Bt cotton for years to come. Wonderful stuff huh?And it's all done with the help of American tax dollars. Let Freedom Ring!

Protect Bt cotton from leaf spots, warn PAU scientists
Express News Service

Ludhiana, June 21: Leaf spots on cotton due to different fungal and bacterial pathogens have gained significance with the cultivation of Bt cotton, say PAU plant pathologists Dr HS Rewal and Dr Chander Mohan.

According to them, last year, high incidence of pathogen-alternaria blight was reported in many fields in Bathinda, Mansa and Faridkot districts. Because of the attack of different fungal and bacterial pathogens, the cotton leaves develop pale green leaf spots with irregular margins. These spots enlarge, turn brown and are recognized easily due to the presence of concentric zones. Severe infection causes shedding of leaves specially where soil is light in texture.
