Too early to judge GM canola trial results

The organisers of the National Variety Trials have urged people not to jump to conclusions about the performance of the genetically modified canola varieties that were trialled last year, saying it is still to early to judge their merit. [...] The RR GM canola trials were conducted at five locations: three trial sites in Victoria, located near Wunghnu, Lake Bolac and Horsham; and two trial sites in NSW located near Forbes and Wagga Wagga. ”As a result of the dry season and frosts only two trials, Horsham and Forbes, were successful,” NVT manager, Alan Bedggood said today.
