OGTR Calls for Comments re GM Sugarcane
September 4, 2009| |
Australia's Office of the Gene Technology Regulator is calling for comments on a consultation Risk Assessment and Risk Management Plan for limited and controlled release of sugarcane genetically modified (GM) for herbicide tolerance. The trial will evaluate agronomic properties of the GM sugarcane under field conditions. It will be tested in six stations in four Queensland shires on a maximum area of 26 hectares between November 2009 and November 2015.
