AgroPages-New Zealand seeking submissions on fungi-Agricultural news

The New Zealand Environmental protection Authority (EPA) is seeking submissions on an application from Grasslanz Technology Ltd and AgResearch Ltd to allow the release of a non-toxic Neotyphodium fungi, to improve the resistance of rye corn and other cereal crops to pests and diseases.

The applicants said that improving the crops’ resistance will lead to a reduction in the use of pesticides and fungicides, and an improvement in farm productivity.

Neotyphodium is a genus of endophyte that colonises seed from the host plants. This genus does not produce toxins that may be harmful to humans or animals.

The public comments have been opened until 24 January 2014.
