ricklev Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 GMO corn is banned but testing has revealed some contamination from GMO strains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry123 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 certainly where i live if you mention G M O no one would have a clue what you were talking about my wife grew 10 rai recently and the buyer (lock stock and barrel) insisted on as much chemical fertilizer to be applied as possible their aim was to grow the biggest fattest corn i have ever seen they wanted weight/bulk no interest in taste looks so gmo out of the question i would not like to have eaten it but to sell this crop this is what they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Farmer next to us sprayed glysophate twice in the first month of his corn crop. Wouldn't non-GMO corn die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike324 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 GMO corn is banned but testing has revealed some contamination from GMO strains. Does that apply to GMO soy beans too in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 All GMOs are illegal bit there has been some approved testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think I bread somewhere though that there has been some importation of GMO soybeans for production and consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I am having a dabble in corn with some help from the wife. We have a .5 rai area to try out 'Pacific Seeds 111' Pac Seed is part of the Advanta group which is in Australia, India, Thailand. No mention of GMO products on their Advanta or Pac Seeds web sites. I've never grown waxy corn before so I am getting excited about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy SB's on the world market, you may end up with some, but also, you might end up with the same with wheat or corn. You have to know your supplier's. rice555 Call the MInistry of Agriculture and ask, take the guess work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
