Bt棉花直接导致印度雨养地区农民自杀
从1995年至今,印度已经有30万名农民自杀。去年,有510民农民结束了自己的生命。目前有许多研究从经济方面批判Bt棉花导致农民破产,可是极少研究从科学的角度论证Bt棉花为何会导致雨养地区棉农的自杀。Bt杂交种子在2002年引入印度,到2012年,全国92%的棉田已种上Bt棉花。经过1970年代的绿色革命和后来的Bt引种,印度农民已经难以获得自留的、一季一熟的雨养棉花种子,而不得不购买高价的、一季两熟的灌溉棉花Bt杂交种子。美国伯克利大学的研究者用生物气候学(phenology)的方法,追踪天气和虫害的动态变化对棉花产量的影响,得出结论: 灌溉棉花一季两熟,与棉红铃虫从滞育期蜕变到下一代幼虫同步,因此易遭虫害袭击。相比之下,传统的雨养棉花品种一季一熟,在棉红铃虫成虫之后才结桃,与害虫的成熟期刚好错开。Bt品种的种植只会带来越来越多的杀虫药需求,正确的做法应该是重新种植短季的本地品种,走生态防虫的道路。
