Official Publications Media Statement Monday, September 2, 2002 FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) CROPS AT UWA A special one-day symposium, ‘Herbicide-Resistant Crops and Weeds’, is to be held in Perth on Friday, September 13, 2002 at the Sheraton Hotel. Symposium organiser, The University of Western Australia’s Professor Stephen Powles said the line-up of Australian and international speakers had been put together to provide an insight into what lies around the corner as Australia considers the introduction of genetically-modified (GM) crops. "By placing it in the context of the decisions facing Australian cropping, the symposium provides a unique opportunity for us to benefit from international experience," he said. Among the speakers will be Professor Mike Owen, from the heart of the ‘Corn Belt’ in Iowa, who is well known to United States farmers as a dynamic and provocative speaker on cropping issues. His forthright views on the benefits and risks of GM herbicide-resistant corn and soybean, and their impact on North American agriculture, promise to provide the West Australian industry with plenty of timely food for thought. Other international visitors include Professor Ford Baldwin from Arkansas State University who has been influential at the coalface of the massive adoption of GM herbicide-resistant crops in America and elsewhere. Dr Stephen Moss will provide the European perspective, and Dr Ian Heap, a pioneering Australian herbicide resistance researcher now based in the US, is in a perfect position to contrast the challenges of resistance facing agriculture in Australia and other parts of the world.

This research will continue to provide basic scientific evidence to inform decisions about the regulatory process and commercial planting of GM crops. The research includes: predicting the behaviour and stability of transferred genes over several generations; evaluating their potential to interact with other genes in the plant, and to be transferred by hybridisation from one plant to another of the same or different species; and assessing their possible impact on the wider environment, for example on wild plants and beneficial species.

Irrigating Greenhouse Crops Texas Greenhouse Management Handbook The irrigation of greenhouse crops is one of the most critical of all production practices. And yet it is frequently overlooked and taken for granted. To provide conditions for optimum plant growth it is essential to become familiar with the factors that influence soil moisture. Irrigation Systems for Commercial Production In most cases, water is applied to the upper surface of the media. This water may be applied by means of an overhead sprinkler, a drip or trickle irrigation system, by hand using a hose or similar device, or some combination of these delivery systems. Overhead sprinklers and hand watering have a tendency to "waste" water and also wet the foliage, which increases the potential for diseases and injury. Drip or trickle systems are the most efficient and provide greater control over the amount of water applied. Also, since the foliage does not become wet there is a reduced potential for diseases and injury. Water may also be applied to greenhouse crops using subirrigation or capillary mats. However, in areas where soluble salts are a problem, mats do not provide for leaching, thereby increasing the risk of salt injury.

By far the most commonly used type of irrigation in Texas is the drip or trickle system. Several types of emitters are available commercially which provide a wide range of capacities. The most common are generally in the 1-3 gallon/minute range.

Media ... Site Map Shopping Cart Our Bookstore Give feedback on our new look! Links Home Lessons from the Green Revolution March/April 2000 Do We Need New Technology to End Hunger? Faced with an estimated 786 million hungry people in the world, cheerleaders for our social order have an easy solution: we will grow more food through the magic of chemicals and genetic engineering. For those who remember the original "Green Revolution" promise to end hunger through miracle seeds, this call for "Green Revolution II" should ring hollow. Yet Monsanto, Novartis, AgrEvo, DuPont, and other chemical companies who are reinventing themselves as biotechnology companies, together with the World Bank and other international agencies, would have the world's anti-hunger energies aimed down the path of more agrochemicals and genetically modified crops. This second Green Revolution, they tell us, will save the world from hunger and starvation if we just allow these various companies, spurred by the free market, to do their magic. Improving seeds through experimentation is what people have been up to since the beginning of agriculture, but the term "Green Revolution" was coined in the 1960s to highlight a particularly striking breakthrough. In test plots in northwest Mexico, improved varieties of wheat dramatically increased yields. Much of the reason why these "modern varieties" produced more than traditional varieties was that they were more responsive to controlled irrigation and to petrochemical fertilizers, allowing for much more efficient conversion of industrial inputs into food. With a big boost from the International Agricultural Research Centers created by the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, the "miracle" seeds quickly spread to Asia, and soon new strains of rice and corn were developed as well.

16 October 2003 Farm Scale Evaluations of GMHT Crops Published The results of the Farm Scale Evaluations of GM Herbicide Tolerant Crops have now been released. The scientific papers, and summaries of the results, are now available from The Royal Society and DEFRA Any bids to speak with the scientists who conducted these trials should be made by calling the Science Media Centre on 0207 670 2980 Comments from the wider scientific community (scientists not directly involved in the FSE research) appear below. Many of these scientists are available for interview today. Professor Julia Goodfellow, Chief Executive of The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) , said: "I welcome the long-awaited publication of this research and congratulate the researchers for the excellent work they have done. This has been a truly collaborative effort, involving scientists from BBSRC, NERC and SEERAD institutes working closely together. Scientific research continues to play an important role in shaping policy making, but this research is also important for UK science and lays down a strong foundation stone for future large-scale ecological studies of this nature. I look forward to looking at the results of this important research in more detail." Professor John Lawton, Chief Executive of the Natural Environment Research Council

9th March 2004 Scientists Welcome Government Announcement on GM Crops Professor Julia Goodfellow , Chief Executive BBSRC, said: "GM technology has great potential benefits for both the public and producers. It is right that we assess each application of this technology case-by-case based on the scientific evidence while taking into consideration the understandable concerns regarding the use of this relatively new technology. " Professor Ian Crute , Director Rothamsted Research, said: "I applaud the government's decision to allow commercial cultivation of herbicide tolerant (HT) GM fodder maize in the UK. HT varieties provide the prospect of reduced economic inputs for hard-pressed farmers striving to compete and sound scientific studies have also demonstrated the potential for some environmental benefit from the way these varieties are likely to be managed. It is particularly heartening to the scientific community in this country that the government has clearly signaled its resolve to act on the basis of factual argument and a rational assessment of risk rather than emotive rhetoric and opinion unsupported by evidence." Professor Chris Lamb , Director of the John Innes Centre Norwich, said: "I warmly welcome the Government's decision today, not least because they have chosen to make policy based on scientific evidence, rather than campaigning rhetoric. The lesson we must all learn from GM is that if society is to reap the benefits that plant science can bring, we need long-term, visionary policy-making that identifies what it is that society requires from agriculture and new plant-based industries. Scientific knowledge and scientific method can then be applied to help meet those objectives".

Russia currently does not produce GMOs on a commercial basis, although scientists have been carrying out experiments with genetic modification of livestock and plants for years. Legislation allows imports of GMOs under special permits. So far such permits have been issued for 18 genetically modified food components for human consumption and 55 for animal feeds. "There is no legislative ban on production of genetically modified crops, but all attempts to start cultivating them have failed ... as the existing scheme of registration (of domestically produced GMOs) makes such registration virtually impossible," said Konstantin Skryabin, director of the Biological Engineering centre at Russia's Academy of Sciences. He told Reuters the centre had finished testing pest- resistant potatoes but was unable to collect all the necessary permits for their registration as bureaucrats kept advancing new demands.
