The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Impact of Bt Cotton on Poor Households in Rural India (2008, background): “A plain comparison is difficult, because the exact nature of illegal Bt hybrids is not always clear; they comprise F1 seeds, farmer-reproduced F2 seeds, but sometimes also spurious seeds that do not actually carry Bt genes (Herring, 2007).”
The neoliberal food regime in Latin America: state, agribusiness transnational corporations and biotechnology (2012, background): “Surprisingly, however, the large landowners, once the very promoters of the legalisation and adoption of transgenic crops (Herring 2007), are now in uproar against their resulting dependency on Monsanto, one of the world’s leading ATNCs.”
Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “with black market seed of questionable quality [98] and the results of several alternative economic modelling analyses [99, 100] suggest that the benefits may not be uniformly positive.”
Field versus Farm in Warangal: Bt Cotton, Higher Yields, and Larger Questions (2011, background): “Gujarat has contributed the most to India's rise in cotton yields since introduction of Bt, and its experience was unique because of the pivotal role played by seeds with pirated Bt technology that performed better than the legal seeds (Herring, 2007; Stone, 2007b).”
