It's possible, however, to stop applying a pesticide that's applied by spraying. Eventually, the amount of it in the system will then decrease. So, if and when a problem becomes recognizable, it may be possible to fix it. If the pesticide is applied by making living plants produce it, and the plants are capable of transferring the trait to later generations and/or related plants, it's likely to be impossible to stop adding additional applications. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale On Sep 20, 2011, at 8:28 AM, Richard Stewart wrote: The below statement is false. Ground water issue, drift, run-off stream and river and lake contamination is/was huge. The younger generation of urban farms often time miss this. We tend to forget just how bad things were getting in the 70s and early 80s. I am not saying that having a huge amount of Bt out there is better or worse. I am all for organic and/sustainable (because large scale organic production is no more sustainable than conventional). I am simply saying that we KNOW the pressure on our environment from the the agricultural sprays we used in the three decades leading up to these newer sprays were horrible. |
