Argentina Approves GM Soybean DBN8205
October 1, 2025| |
Argentina's Ministry of Economy approved the commercialization of genetically modified soybean DBN8205. The decision indicated that the GM soybean is as safe as any other commercial soybean.
DBN8205 was developed by DBN Biotech Argentina to confer soybean plants with resistance to lepidopteran insects and tolerance to glufosinate ammonium herbicide. The approval allows marketing and planting of the stacked insect resistant and herbicide tolerant GM soybean throughout the country after submission of an insect resistance management plan and registration in the National Registry of Cultivars.
The approval is expected to boost competitiveness with other soybean-producing countries, such as Brazil and the USA, as soybean is the country's top export commodity and generates over 25% of Argentina's exports.
