1. The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.
The Bt technology, therefore, has little direct role in determining crop yield, except through the plant protection route. Crop output depends on the inherent yield potential of the cotton hybrid in which this gene has been incorporated. That apart, the current cotton glut in the country, thanks to a record cotton harvest of 33.4 million bales in 2010-11, does not bear testimony to any perceptible slowdown in output
growth. But the chances of such a decline cannot be ruled out. There is a possibility that the existing Bt-cotton hybrids will run out of their useful life over a period which normally happens in the case of all hybrids and even non-genetically engineered varieties.
Besides, many illegal and unapproved seeds are in circulation. Their below-par performance does sully the image of Bt technology. Moreover, once one pest is suppressed effectively, as bollworm has owing to the prevalence of Bt hybrids, others tend to turn aggressive, necessitating newer, approaches to combat them. Therefore, there is a need to regularly replace existing Bt hybrids with better ones with higher innate yield potential and a capacity to withstand emerging threats. The onus lies on private seed companies, which virtually monopolize the cotton seed business, as well as the public sector farm research network. At present, most of the 35-oddcompaniesmarketing Bt seeds have licensing arrangements with technology developers, a handful of multinationals. Unfortunately, many companies with resources and the
know-how to develop new gene-altered plant types are wary of investing in this cost – intensive pursuit. This is because of the cumbersome process of getting government approval for commercialization of their technology. Moreover, the unreasonable price caps placed by state governments on seeds have become a disincentive for investors, given the large overhead cost of technology development. These issues need to be addressed to facilitate a constant flow of investment into new technology development even with new Bt and other biotech hybrids or non-hybrid varieties. This will ensure that seeds are replaced at shorter intervals. Finally, public funding of research can play a constructive role in facilitating greater competition; ensuring that privately funded research is more forthcoming.
