  1. Can anyone kindly help? Thanks. Vaheguroo Jee Ka Khalsaa! Vaheguroo Jee Ki Fatheh! Here's a good link, but sometimes this site doesn't work. http://www.sikhroots.com/audio/standalone....+Meh+Kichh+Nahi This Shabad's sung by Bhai Niranjan Singh. (It's in the album Hirday Naam Vasayo.)
  2. To "sweat out the toxins", the farmers must stop using them. If we keep dumping pesticides into the environment, the toxins will keep accumulating. Crop rotation is good, but the crops are still susceptible to pests. So if they do use crop rotation and such, will they not spray pesticides? Pesticides kill pests, but plants that are naturally resistant to pests don't necessarily kill pests. They have something in them that repels pests. Pests normally destroy crops, so if cotton is infected, I don't think it'll survive. In Canada, they grow genetically modified potatoes and tomatoes (and other stuff). These crops are resistant to certain pests that they'd otherwise be susceptible to...this gives the farmers a larger yield. Plus the farmers don't have to spray pesticides to ward off those pests. 'My' idea may be too far in the future to be of any help to Punjab. The thing is that Punjab needs to take some sort of step (very soon) to reduce the toxins. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa.

  3. Pesticides are a huge problem because they're used all the time and many times per year by thousands of farmers in Punjab. And pesticides are linked to cancers and birth deformities. So...one solution is to use genetically modified crops. We need to find plants that are naturally resistant to the pests. Then we need to take the pest-resistance genes and introduce them into whatever crops are susceptible to those pests. Then the crops will possess genes that help them fight those pests, and we won't have to spray any pesticides. Hmmm...I hope that made sense. It seems like that's the only way to dramatically reduce the use of pesticides. Any other ideas? Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa. Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
