China has approved Bayer’s TruFlex canola with Roundup Ready technology (MON88302) for import from the U.S. and Canada.
La compañía dijo que el Ministerio de Agricultura y Asuntos Rurales de China (MARA) otorgó la aprobación del certificado de seguridad para la importación y el uso de alimentos / piensos del producto.
“After five years of waiting to introduce this product to Canadian and U.S. farmers we are thrilled to move forward with commercialization in 2019,” said Jon Riley, trait launch lead with Bayer. “Farmers want, and need, new technology to help drive yield on their farms and they are looking forward to planting TruFlex™ canola this coming season.”
La compañía se siente alentada de que las mejoras fundamentales en el proceso regulatorio en China sigan siendo un foco importante en las negociaciones en curso con los gobiernos que tienen exportaciones significativas a China. Bayer apoya el objetivo de estas negociaciones; permitiendo un proceso predecible, oportuno, transparente y basado en la ciencia en China que impulse tanto la innovación como el comercio global.
TruFlex™ canola is part of an improved canola system compared to Genuity® Roundup Ready® canola and is designed for a range of growing conditions. Among the benefits over Bayer’s current technology are:
- Control mejorado de malezas resistentes – The TruFlex™ canola system allows for the control of a broad spectrum of tough-to-control weeds including cleavers, foxtail barley and wild buckwheat. It also helps enable season-long dandelion control.
- Flexibilidad en las tasas de pulverización y el tiempo The TruFlex™ canola system has a wider application window, providing farmers with up to 10-14 more spray days than our current technology. And by enabling flexible application rates, it will help farmers choose the right rate for the unique weed challenges they face on their farms.

Stewarded plot trials and field demonstrations took place at several locations across Western Canada last summer to allow farmers to see the performance of TruFlex™ canola in the field and drive pre-orders from farmers across Western Canada.
Bayer expects TruFlex™ canola will be planted on approximately one million acres in its inaugural season and will be offered in both the company’s DEKALB® seed brand and from other Canadian licensees, including Nutrien Ag Solutions and CANTERRA SEEDS.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada granted full food, feed and environmental safety approval of TruFlex™ canola in June 2012 and the product has been approved for import in several export markets.
