Seven of every 10 South African cotton farmers have switched to genetically modified (GM) varieties. The others still plant conventional cotton and use pesticides and chemical fertilisers. South Africa has no market for organic cotton. The GM farmers produced 25 130 tonnes of cotton in the 2001/02 growing season.
On the Springbok Flats, north of Pretoria, Willem van der Walt runs a mixed farm producing sorghum, cotton, rotational crops and pigs. He is a firm GM convert.
“It is absolutely essential,” he says. “Our production costs have decreased 40%. Zero tillage allows for greater water retention in the soil, we use fewer pesticides and our maintenance costs for machinery are less.”
Van der Walt insists his farming methods are environmentally sensitive because he uses less pesticide.
