Will the seed contamination problem worsen over time?

FAQs: Seed Contamination
In general, the answer is yes. Left unchecked, we are likely to have more and more genes at higher and higher levels in our traditional seed supply. But we do need to understand more about when and where contamination occurs. That is why we urge the federal government to promptly follow this pilot project with a much more comprehensive study with large samples of a greater number of crops.

What will happen if I ignore this problem? Will it worsen?

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Pelvic organ prolapse may not occur quickly, but if left untreated, typically worsens with time.  The choice of treatment should be based on the impact of symptoms on the patient's health and activities.  In rare cases, severe prolapse can cause urine to be retained in the bladder and the kidneys, leading to kidney damage or infection.  In this situation, treatment is necessary.

Why is contamination of the traditional seed supply important?

FAQs: Seed Contamination
Traditional seeds represent the portion of the seed supply that is presumed not to be genetically engineered. Such seeds are important to conventional farmers exporting crops to countries that reject genetic engineering; to organic farmers who are barred from using genetically engineered seeds; and to society as a whole as an insurance policy against the possibility that something might go awry with genetic engineering.

All patients with moyamoya syndrome will develop progressive narrowing of their brain blood vessels over time, and we have never seen an exception to this rule after more than three decades of studying these patients. Along with this progressive narrowing of the brain blood vessels, the patient's clinical condition also worsens; this is why we believe that surgery to increase the brain's borderline blood supply is so important for most patients.

When is the best time to plant grass seed?

Fertilforce- Q & A
Grass seed can be planted in either spring or fall. However, fall is the best time because the ground is warm and there is less weed competition. By far the best time is late August to mid-September. This allows time for the seed to germinate and grow, for the grass to be cut once, and for an application of fertilizer to be applied before the first hard frost.
