Field trials permitted for Bt eggplants in India
The Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) has permitted large-scale field trials of genetically modified (GM) food crops in the country but with certain restrictions. The varieties have been developed by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) and Mahyco. The field trials of several varieties of Bt brinjal — the first food crop in the country — will be carried out in research farms at specified locations and not in the private fields.
