Cost efficacy in measuring farmland biodiversity : lessons from the Farm Scale Evaluations of GMHT crops
(2008-02)
Measuring farmland biodiversity is time-consuming and costly. Operational data from the Farm Scale Evaluation of genetically modified crops project were collated to identify the financial and time costs of each of the 14 ...
Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance
(2006-02-15)
Drought is a major limitation to sugar beet yield in many rainfed areas. Varieties with increased drought tolerance would improve productivity, but breeding specifically for drought tolerance is time-consuming and expensive. ...
Management of genetically modified herbicide tolerant sugar beet for spring and autumn environmental benefit
(2005-01)
When used in genetically modified herbicide–tolerant (GMHT) crops, glyphosate provides great flexibility to manipulate weed populations with consequences for invertebrates and higher trophic levels, for example birds. A ...
A novel approach to the use of genetically modified herbicide tolerant crops for environmental benefit
(2003-02)
The proposed introduction of genetically modified herbicide tolerant (GMHT) crops, with claims of improved weed control, has prompted fears about possible environmental impacts of their widespread adoption, particularly ...
