Beijing Dabeinong says its GM herbicide-tolerant soybeans approved by Brazil

China’s Beijing Dabeinong Technology Group Co Ltd said on November 22 that Brazil has approved the safety and planting of its genetically-modified herbicide-tolerant soybeans.

Transformation event DBN9004 of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant soybeans has passed the safety evaluation review and the planting license has been officially approved, Dabeinong said in a filing.

″This genetically-modified soybean can tolerate both glyphosate and glufosinate-ammonium herbicides, helping to solve the problem of weed control in South American soybean production,″ it said.

Dabeinong said this is the firm’s first soybean product approved for cultivation in the South American nation, helping to boost the company’s expansion into Brazil.

The unit’s genetically-modified insect-resistant soybean products received a planting license in Argentina in 2022.
