This result rings true with Nicholas' statement that GMO can be a very lazy approach to crop management.

A good and true approach to growing anything. It's a known fact that healthy plants with as high brix will ward off most bugs and diseases. Correctly feeding and irrigatiing will make for a good harvest and a more tasteful one. We use as much organic as we can and our plants produce goods tasting and abundant crops. Organics isn't for everyone but many would benifit by using it. In the long run it is less expensive also.
