U.S. Monsanto will launch insect-resistant bell cotton cotton technology

The United States Monsanto will launch the third generation of cotton biotech products next year. Ten years ago, Mengsan introduced the second-generation insect-resistant boll-cotton-II technology to provide double protection for cotton plants. Currently, before the introduction of new technology, the seed technology company in St. Louis, US, has entered the regulatory process. The final stage.

The Insect-Resistant Bollworm II Glyphosate Flex (BGII RRF) will provide protection against weeds in addition to continuing the protection of cotton plants against insect pests. Mr. Amitabh Jaipuria, chairman of Monsanto in India, said that this technology is called Roundup-Ready Flex (RRF). This technology will enter the final stage of the experiment this year and it will strive to obtain the necessary commercial launch license next year.

The RRF technology generates energy inside the plant that is resistant to herbicides. After applying the herbicide, the weeds around the plants die, and the plants with this technology do not die.

He said that due to the lack of labor, Indian agriculture is very concerned about herbicide technology.

With regard to the issue of high technical costs borne by farmers, he said that we should look at the income of farmers after using GM seeds. The technical cost is 400 rupees, which is less than 1% of the value of 45,000 rupees.
