GMO trials and special projects

A highly regulated framework

Staphyt Brazil has a Quality Certificate in biosecurity issued by the National Technical Biosafety Commission (CTNBio), which allows the company to accomplish studies with regulated and commercial organisms genetically modified in laboratory conditions, greenhouses and experimental fields.

The evaluation of the toxin efficiency to control the different target organisms, the characterisation of susceptibility of pests to protein, besides the qualification of GM varieties to the attack of targets, are some of the studies executed by Staphyt in Brazil.

Insect field dispersion studies

Staphyt Brazil has the ability to disperse insect pest populations LPMA (Planned release into the environment accreditation)

Pests population dynamics studies

We are able to monitor the population fluctuation over the crop season and the effects of management procedures and control methods.

Qualification of GMO Cultivars

Brazil has strict regulations on the studies and registration of new transgenic events or the introduction of new cultivars. Tests of performance of those genotypes can be carried out only under accredited research institutions such as Staphyt research station and specialised research team.

Evaluation of cultivars in resistant insect populations

Cultivars expressing different Bt proteins can show different performance of control in the field. We have insect populations characterised for resistance to specific Bt proteins to be used for different types of tests.

F2 Screen

Tests in field populations in generation F2 can predict the evolution of resistance in the field by assessing the frequency of resistant individuals. This kind of test is very useful to predict the stability of resistance or the fitness cost associated with it.
