brian60221 Posted July 5, 2022 #227493 Share Posted July 5, 2022 There's an organic farming system from Korea called JADAM that I wish would grow in popularity. It's extremely cost-effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabra Posted July 5, 2022 #227500 Share Posted July 5, 2022 No weevils in his rice all joking aside it wouldn't surprise me if it where safer than the current ferts and pesticides farmers typically use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palooka Posted July 5, 2022 #227506 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Young lady near us used it to kill an infection on one finger. Worked, but it dissolved her finger nail and a few layers of skin. Neighbour does a lot of the spraying around the area and when changing products empties the left overs into his rice field. Offers me new rice from the field every year but I respectfully decline, want to live few more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your frantic attempt to distract fact from fiction I have been unable to discern any relevant reference to a hat! But assuming you have possibly some significant financial interest in Monsanto or are quite ignorant of the damage that that company has inflicted on agricultural capacity despite claims to the contrary then you need educate yourself urgently ! I would suggest Monsanto is not alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a false and disparaging statement that you cannot substantiate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No vested interest. Ongoing litigation doesn't mean that a litigant is guilty (or not guilty). The litigation you refer to is USA based and has nothing to do with Thailand. I am not a supporter of Monsanto and do not use pesticides, or herbicides. However, I know that many of the allegations made by the public about Monsanto are unfounded. You have erroneously assumed that an allegation related to US activity that may or may not be credible, applies to Thailand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted July 9, 2022 #228999 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The provided example of litigation in the US is over one of many well founded issues Monsanto left in it's tracks internationally. With regard to Thailand Bayer "persuaded" the Thai Govt. to reverse the proposed ban on the use of glysophate herbicide even while settling claims in the US. In other agricultural arenas issues over GMO and GE have not provided an altogether positive outcome either. There is a host of historical problems under the umbrella of the name Monsanto. That you wish to create argument over what was intended as much as anything to be tongue in cheek but related to some of these issues I will have to disappoint you other than to refer to the plethora of such instances that can rapidly be found on the internet. If Thailand is a priority the following is quite revealing ! https://usrtk.org/pesticides/thailands-reversal-on-glyphosate-ban/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
