&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;There are formidable social, economic and environmental reasons why it should not be cultivated&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;The manner in which the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) recently cleared the proposal for genetically modified (GM) mustard is extraordinary to say the least. It makes a mockery of the commitment in the Bharatiya Janata Party manifesto that &amp;ldquo;GM foods will not be allowed without full scientific evaluation on the long term effects on soil, production and biological impact on consumers&amp;rdquo;. The Prime Minister had delighted consumers by lending his weight to the promotion of organic food. On the other hand, GM and organic are completely incompatible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alluring promises of higher yield and lower pesticide usage which induced many, including myself as Textile Secretary to the Government of India in the 1990s, to welcome Bt cotton have now been belied. Despite increased fertilisers and irrigation, the expectations of enhanced cotton yield have not been realised. Most of the countries that have higher cotton yields than India do not grow GM cotton. The package of promises sold to us did not reveal all of this. If I had an inkling of the future at that time, Bt cotton would not have been introduced in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Yields as a touchstone&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We would now be foolish in accepting the yield promises of the GM variety of mustard, a crop which is an integral part of every Indian&amp;rsquo;s food. Ab initio the yield claims on which GM mustard has been cleared are not even remotely reliable &amp;mdash; being based on comparisons with 30-year-old cultivars, and not on more recent high-yielding hybrids. The highest yields in mustard are from the five countries which do not grow GM mustard &amp;mdash; U.K., France, Poland, Germany and Czech Republic &amp;mdash; and not from the GM-growing U.S. or Canada (see graph based on FAO data). If India is desirous to increase its mustard yield rapidly and safely, this can be done by adopting the practice of System of Mustard Intensification, for which successful trials have been done in Bihar through a World Bank project. Results showed higher yields and better income. All this without the spraying of any toxic herbicides, which is the undisclosed story of GM mustard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM mustard&amp;rsquo;s yield increase claims have been successfully challenged now, prompting the crop developers and regulators to retract on that front &amp;mdash; it is another matter that many reports continue to claim that GM mustard will increase yields.&lt;br /&gt;

It makes a mockery of the commitment in the Bharatiya Janata Party manifesto that &amp;ldquo;GM foods will not be allowed without full scientific evaluation on the long term effects on soil, production and biological impact on consumers&amp;rdquo;. The Prime Minister had delighted consumers by lending his weight to the promotion of organic food. On the other hand, GM and organic are completely incompatible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alluring promises of higher yield and lower pesticide usage which induced many, including myself as Textile Secretary to the Government of India in the 1990s, to welcome Bt cotton have now been belied. Despite increased fertilisers and irrigation, the expectations of enhanced cotton yield have not been realised. Most of the countries that have higher cotton yields than India do not grow GM cotton. The package of promises sold to us did not reveal all of this. If I had an inkling of the future at that time, Bt cotton would not have been introduced in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yields as a touchstone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would now be foolish in accepting the yield promises of the GM variety of mustard, a crop which is an integral part of every Indian&amp;rsquo;s food. Ab initio the yield claims on which GM mustard has been cleared are not even remotely reliable &amp;mdash; being based on comparisons with 30-year-old cultivars, and not on more recent high-yielding hybrids. The highest yields in mustard are from the five countries which do not grow GM mustard &amp;mdash; U.K., France, Poland, Germany and Czech Republic &amp;mdash; and not from the GM-growing U.S. or Canada (see graph based on FAO data). If India is desirous to increase its mustard yield rapidly and safely, this can be done by adopting the practice of System of Mustard Intensification, for which successful trials have been done in Bihar through a World Bank project. Results showed higher yields and better income. All this without the spraying of any toxic herbicides, which is the undisclosed story of GM mustard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GM mustard&amp;rsquo;s yield increase claims have been successfully challenged now, prompting the crop developers and regulators to retract on that front &amp;mdash; it is another matter that many reports continue to claim that GM mustard will increase yields.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/say-no-to-gm-mustard/article18573107.ece&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/say-no-to-gm-mustard/article18573107.ece&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Say no to GM mustard -TSR Subramanian

-The Hindu There are formidable social, economic and environmental reasons why it should not be cultivated The manner in which the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) recently cleared the proposal for genetically modified (GM) mustard is extraordinary to say the least. It makes a mockery of the commitment in the Bharatiya Janata Party manifesto that “GM foods will not be allowed without full scientific evaluation on the long term effects on soil, production and biological impact on consumers”. The Prime Minister had delighted consumers by lending his weight to the promotion of organic food. On the other hand, GM and organic are completely incompatible. The alluring promises of higher yield and lower pesticide usage which induced many, including myself as Textile Secretary to the Government of India in the 1990s, to welcome Bt cotton have now been belied. Despite increased fertilisers and irrigation, the expectations of enhanced cotton yield have not been realised. Most of the countries that have higher cotton yields than India do not grow GM cotton. The package of promises sold to us did not reveal all of this. If I had an inkling of the future at that time, Bt cotton would not have been introduced in India. Yields as a touchstone We would now be foolish in accepting the yield promises of the GM variety of mustard, a crop which is an integral part of every Indian’s food. Ab initio the yield claims on which GM mustard has been cleared are not even remotely reliable — being based on comparisons with 30-year-old cultivars, and not on more recent high-yielding hybrids. The highest yields in mustard are from the five countries which do not grow GM mustard — U.K., France, Poland, Germany and Czech Republic — and not from the GM-growing U.S. or Canada (see graph based on FAO data). If India is desirous to increase its mustard yield rapidly and safely, this can be done by adopting the practice of System of Mustard Intensification, for which successful trials have been done in Bihar through a World Bank project. Results showed higher yields and better income. All this without the spraying of any toxic herbicides, which is the undisclosed story of GM mustard. GM mustard’s yield increase claims have been successfully challenged now, prompting the crop developers and regulators to retract on that front — it is another matter that many reports continue to claim that GM mustard will increase yields.
