Kwiminyaka elishumi edlulileyo abalimi baseIndiya bebelimaBtumqhaphu – uhlobo oluvela kwi-transgenic oluqulethe iijini ezivela kwibhaktheriya yomhlabaI-Bacillus thuringiensisokwenza ukuba ikwazi ukumelana nezinambuzane – ukusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane kuncitshiswe ubuncinane ngesiqingatha, uphando olutsha lubonisa.
Olu phando lukwafumanise ukuba ukusetyenziswaBtUmqhaphu unceda ekuthinteleni ubuncinane iimeko eziyi-2.4 yezigidi zokutyhefwa kwezibulali-zinambuzane kubalimi baseIndiya minyaka le, nto leyo egcina iindleko zempilo zonyaka ze-US$14 yezigidi. (Jonga i-website ye-www.indidi-media.com/index.php ...Indaloingxelo yangaphambili yeBtukufunxwa komqhaphu eIndiyaApha.)
Uphando malunga noqoqosho kunye nokusingqongileyoBtumqhaphu yeyona nto ichanekileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwaye lolona phando lwexesha elide kuphelaBtabalimi bekotoni kwilizwe elisaphuhlayo.
Izifundo zangaphambili zibonise ukuba abalimi batyalaBtUmqhaphu awusebenzisi zinambuzane zininzi. Kodwa ezi zifundo zakudala azizange zibonise unxibelelwano olubangela oku kwaye zimbalwa ezilinganise iindleko kunye neenzuzo zokusingqongileyo, ezoqoqosho kunye nezempilo.
Uphononongo lwangoku, olupapashwe kwi-intanethi kwijenaliUqoqosho lwezeNdalo, yenze uphando kubalimi bekotoni baseIndiya phakathi kowama-2002 nowama-2008. I-India ngoku yeyona mveliso inkulu kwihlabathiBtumqhaphu oqikelelwa kwi-23.2 yezigidi zeehektare ezityalwe ngo-2010. Abalimi baceliwe ukuba banike idatha yezolimo, yezentlalo-qoqosho neyezempilo, kuquka iinkcukacha zokusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane kunye nokuphindaphindwa kwazo kunye nohlobo lwetyhefu yezibulali-zinambuzane ezifana nokukrala kwamehlo nolusu. Abalimi abafumene ityhefu yezibulali-zinambuzane banike iinkcukacha malunga neendleko zonyango lwempilo kunye neendleko ezinxulumene neentsuku zomsebenzi ezilahlekileyo. Olu phando luphindaphindwa rhoqo emva kweminyaka emibini.
"Iziphumo zibonisa ukubaBt“Umqhaphu unciphise kakhulu ukuxhaphaka kwetyhefu yezibulali-zinambuzane phakathi kwabalimi abancinci baseIndiya,” lutsho olu phononongo.
Olu phononongo longeza ngelithi iingxoxo zikawonke-wonke malunga nezityalo eziguqulwe izakhi zofuzo mazigxile kakhulu kwiingenelo zempilo kunye nokusingqongileyo ezinokuba "zibalulekileyo" kungekhona nje iingozi.
