Flood spreads GE canola seeds in Western Australia

A WIMMERA farmer whose paddocks have been infested by genetically modified canola washed down by the December floods says the spread of large chunks of GM seed highlights the inadequacy of Australia’s co-existence policy between GM and non-GM canola. [...] ”The canola was transported in the first floods, then when we got the rain in January, it germinated quite a substantial amount. ”I’d say it could easily be more than the prescribed levels of 0.9pc GM material.”
