USDA clears the way for new biotech soybean

摘要

USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has approved a petition by BayerCrop Science to deregulate a soybean genetically modified to tolerate the herbicides glyphosate and isoxaflutole. The agency concluded that the double herbicide-tolerant soybean is unlikely to pose a plant risk, a move that clears the way for commercial use of the biotech crop.
