AgroPages-Australia approved Monsanto's Bollgard III cotton-Agricultural news

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority(APVMA) has approved Monsanto's genetically modified insect-resistant BollgardIII cotton. The proposed use is to protect against Helicoverpa Armigera (Cotton Bollworm) and Helicoverpa punctigera (Native Budworm).

According to Monsanto, Bollgard III will provide a more robust resistance management tool for cotton growers. The Bt proteins found in Bollgard II, (Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab), Bollgard III will also include a third Bt protein Vip3A.

These three proteins will increase the longevity of the technology, each having a different mode of action or ‘killing’ larvae in a different way. Early results indicate that Bollgard III is highly effective against Helicoverpa species.
