Next decade’s GE crop traits now in development
Earlier this fall, BASF and Monsanto hosted U.S. and European journalists at research laboratories in Belgium and Germany where they are researching and developing N-use and many other traits. These traits represent the next wave on top of the traits you now use to deter corn insects and resist non-selective herbicides like glyphosate.
Want more yield? Yield genes are in the works. Ditto for traits that help you better manage N, deter drought, or swat soybean cyst nematode (SCN).
