  1. What is the source of this data? I’m not doubting the information, I just don’t use sources without citations.

    • Munchygut, this was taken from the August 2013 issue of the journal Science, the preeminent science journal in the US. It can be found here http://www.sciencemag.org/content/341/6147/730.full . The positive effect of BT engineered crops is well documented in the US, India, and China. Take a look at the full infographic; for example, some countries in the EU use far more pesticides than are used in the US.

  2. Nice bait and switch.

    As you know — and are purposefully not saying — while some crops show a decline, overall herbicide/pesticide use is way up since the advent of GM crops: http://www.enveurope.com/content/24/1/24

    Since this is a self-evident industry propaganda site, why am I not surprised that this inconvenient fact was ignored?
