GM canola could boost productivity
6 Nov 2007
A University of Melbourne study into genetically-modified canola has found that if half the current growing areas for canola were planted with GM crop there would be a total financial benefit of $157 million. The report shows that the bulk of GM canola is sold for similar prices to those achieved by conventional canola and that no price premium is being gained by refusing to allow the introduction of GM crops. According to one of the authors of the report, Professor Graham Roush, Canada has used herbicide tolerant canola to increase average yields by 27 per cent over the last 10 years.
