Good news for the agricultural world:
study University of Missouri clearly states that no conventional soybean varieties whose production costs are lower than GM soy even though equal in performance.
Monsanto genetically modified soybeans to tolerate the herbicide (Roundup) to guarantee sales of seeds and chemicals. But greed can and the price of Roundup has been multiplied by three, a fact that directly affects the profitability of GM soy. One of the risks of relying on a single company has been established.
At the same time, the University report indicates that farmers that and add a conventional herbicide Roundup to control "bad" herbs that appear in the soybean crop because some of those have already incorporated the same tolerance to Roundup the crop, either GM contamination either by evolutionary dynamics, another risk warned long ago. Why planting Roundup Ready soybeans is effective even if their genetic modification?
also being patented its Roundup Ready, Monsanto imposed on the people who planted a waiver to save seed from their crops for the next planting. Each bag of seed costs about $ 40 (32 euros), when historically farmers and soybean farmers from saving seeds and save much money. Economic risk patenting of seeds has also been widely reported and is another reason why farmers and farmers now back to conventional varieties, since they can save seed ... and money.
Finally, there are companies that offer bonuses to their sector to buy non-GM soybean harvest due to high demand for it in third countries. The premium is up to a dollar more than the marked price of soybeans in the Chicago market, which also prompted a return to conventional soybeans.
