China has approved Bayer’s TruFlex canola with Roundup Ready technology (MON88302) for import from the U.S. and Canada.
该公司表示，中国农业农村部 (MARA) 已批准该产品的进口和食品/饲料使用安全证书。
“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.”
该公司感到鼓舞的是，中国监管程序的根本改进仍然是与对中国有大量出口的政府正在进行的谈判的重要焦点。拜耳支持这些谈判的目标；在中国实现可预测、及时、透明和基于科学的过程，从而推动全球创新和贸易。
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:
- 加强对顽固杂草的控制 – 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.
- 喷涂速度和时间的灵活性 – 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.
- 通过遗传学提高产量潜力和提高作物安全性 – 新基因有助于提高产量潜力，改进的作物系统比 Genuity 提供更好的杂草控制和作物安全性® 抗草甘膦® 油菜籽。
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. Securing import approval from China – Canada’s largest export market for canola – 进一步实现我们的 2019 年商业化计划。
