The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is to issue permits allowing the planting of Monsanto/KWS Saat’s genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant Roundup Ready sugar beet this autumn. The permits would authorise “steckling” (seedling) production under strict conditions that would not allow flowering, the USDA points out. The decision follows last month’s court order banning the planting of Roundup Ready sugar beet and annulling the USDA’s 2005 deregulation of the crop ...

The US EPA has issued a cancellation order for Monsanto’s genetically modified insect-resistant YieldGard RW (MON863) and YieldGard Plus (MON863+MON810) maize. Both lines produce the Bt Cry3Bb1 toxin, with the latter also producing the Cry1Ab toxin. The Agency recently indicated that Monsanto had not requested an extension for the conditional approvals, which lapse on September 30th (Agrow No 598, p 21). The cancellation order allows Monsanto and its licensees to sell and distribute YieldGard ...

Brazil has provisionally approved the sale and use of the first Monsanto genetically modified soybeans developed specifically for use in a market outside the US. The national technical biosafety commission, the CTNBio, approved the company’s insect-resistant and glyphosate-tolerant Bt Roundup Ready 2 Yield (MON87701xMON 89788) soybeans at its August meeting. Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans are already on sale in the US, but the insect-resistant version was developed specifically for the ...

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has begun reviewing an application from Bayer CropScience for food derived from its genetically modified herbicide-tolerant FG72 soybeans. They are tolerant to glyphosate and isoxazole herbicides. Bayer agreed with US trait and technology provider M S Technologies and soybean breeder Mertec in 2007 to develop lines with tolerance to glyphosate and isoxazoles such as Bayer’s Balance Pro (isoxaflutole – Agrow No 533, p 1). The company has applied for ...

Mexico and the Philippines have authorised the import of two of Syngenta’s genetically modified maize products. The stacked trait Agrisure Viptera 3111 combines the company’s insect-resistant Agrisure Viptera (MIR162) with insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant Agrisure 3000GT. It produces the Bt Vip3A, Cry1Ab and mCry3A toxins for the control of above- and below-ground pests. The approval follows that of Japan in June, which cleared the way for a US launch (Agrow No594, p 27). Syngenta has ...

The last time Agrow talked with Sun Shubao, general secretary of the China Crop Protection Industry Association (CCPIA), in the summer of 2008, the Chinese pesticide industry was booming. Prices for the herbicide, glyphosate, were skyrocketing and export companies were posting record sales and ...

It has been a long wait, but genetically modified crops with output traits are finally nearing commercialisation. Output traits can be variously defined as those of benefit downstream from the producer, such as “healthier” oils or altered content (starch, sucrose, lignin, increased nutrient value ...

The US Patent and Trademark Office in July published a total of 85 patent applications from 46 different assignees, covering genetically modified plants and methods of producing them. Fifteen were for input traits, especially new Bt endotoxins effective against lepidopteran pests (six), or ...

Insecticides took the lead among pesticide patents in June with 33 out of the 87 published. Fungicides followed with 26 patents and herbicides with 24. There were only four patents related to products with dual mode of action and these were combined fungicide/insecticide products. Several of the ...
