Comparison of Yield from Bt and Non Bt Maize Plots at Pankop (June 2006)

My estimated profit was as follows:Item Non-Bt Maize Bt Maize
Cost of seed per hectare R345.00 R693.00
Estimated yield per hectare (whole cobs)
14 400 kg 19 300 kg
Estimated yield per hectare (grain) 7 200 kg 9 650 kg
Gross profit R9 735.00 R12 817.00
Advantage of Bt over non-Bt maize R3 082 per hectare
The above estimates are based on the following:•An average grain price of R1 400 per ton.•A ratio of 50 : 50 regarding weight of grain : weight of the bare cob.
