[quote="janetpelletier"]Some plants, and some cultivars of some plants are naturally more resistant to certain pests. That's why they tended to get passed down and retained in the gene pool.

I sometimes suspect that newer cultivars are developed with less sensitivity to disease/pest resistance because we have those lovely pesticides to rely on.[/quote]

ironically, that is something that some people are trying to solve with GM crops that everyone is up in arms about.

I understand why they sell them Janet, However the profits of guaranteed seed sales does not justify the possible damage. I look at it as a desperate act of a company that wishes to guarantee marketshare. However whats even further frightening is that one day this may be the only seed you will be able to purchase...

May this day never come.
