In rural areas, the consequences of large-scale monoculture of soybeans are even more terrifying. Traditional agricultural areas close to huge soybean plantations have been seriously affected by Monsanto Nada herbicides sprayed from aircraft. In Lomacensus, farmers planting various types of vegetables for their own consumption find that their crops were killed by spraying herbicides, because Roundup removed Monsanto soybeans that were genetically modified to be "glyphosate-resistant." All the plants are killed.
A study conducted in 2003 showed that this spraying not only killed the crops of nearby farmers, they also bred chickens, and other livestock, especially horses, were severely affected. The common people suffer severe nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and skin damage due to herbicides. There are reports that severely malformed organs have occurred in animals produced near genetically modified soybean planting fields, and that bananas and sweet potatoes have become strangely shaped. The lake is suddenly full of dead fish. Some farmers reported that strange spots had appeared on their children after the nearby soybean fields had been sprayed.
The damage to precious woodland is even greater. These woodlands were pushed out by bulldozers to allow large-scale planting of soybeans. This situation is particularly serious in the Chaco region and in the Yungas region near Paraguay. The destruction of the forest has brought about a sharp increase in medical problems for the local residents, including Kala fever, a parasitic disease transmitted through sand flies. The treatment costs are extremely expensive and leave serious scars and other deformities. In Entre Rios, more than 1.2 million acres (approximately 486,000 hectares) of forest were razed to the ground in 2003, and by this time the government finally enacted a deforestation ban.
In 1996, in order to convince the skeptical Argentinean farmers to use Monsanto's anti-Donda soybean seeds, the company declared with great fanfare that it was a miracle crop, claiming that its genetically modified soybeans had been genetically modified to withstand the resistance of Monsanto. herbicide.
This company assures farmers that they will greatly reduce the use of herbicides and chemical plant protection treatments compared to growing ordinary soybeans. Since Roundup actually killed all the other plants growing near the Monsanto GM soybeans, it needed only one herbicide instead of several – at least Monsanto’s PR publicity stated. The vowed commitment also includes increasing production, reducing costs, allowing desperate farmers to live a good life, and so on. Not surprisingly, these propaganda have responded positively.
Facts have proved that these promises are purely nonsense. The yield of anti-Rongda soybean crops is on average 5% to 15% lower than traditional soybean crops. Moreover, there are many more herbicides that need to be used. Farmers have discovered that newly emerging weedy weeds require more than twice the amount of spray to remove. The statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture since 1997 show that the expansion of anti-Donda soybean acreage has led to an increase of 72% in the use of glyphosate.
According to the information provided by the Pesticide Action Network, scientists estimate that genetically engineered plants in order to obtain herbicide-resistant properties will actually lead to a two-fold increase in herbicide use. As farmers know that their crops can withstand or resist these herbicides, farmers are often more comfortable with herbicides. However, Monsanto has never conducted rigorous and verifiable independent experiments on the adverse health effects of cattle fed on raw soybeans containing Roundup herbicides. Not to mention the adverse effects of human consumption. The increased use of chemical agents results in higher costs than the use of non-transgenic seeds.
