Dow, Mertec and M.S. Technologies in Soybean Collaboration
June 5, 2008| |
Dow AgroSciences, Mertec and M.S. Technologies have entered a long-term, non-exclusive agreement to jointly develop and commercialize several innovative technologies for use in soybeans, globally. Under the agreement, Dow AgroSciences and M.S. Technologies will apply their proprietary technologies to Mertec’s germplasm. Dow AgroSciences expects to launch their Herbicide Tolerance 2 trait (DHT2) that will provide resistance to the herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) by 2013. Following the DHT2 trait will be the development of other technologies including a glyphosate tolerant and 2,4-D tolerant combination.
