DAS-281-24-236 cotton strain, developed by Dow AgroSciences (DAS), one of the leading agricultural companies that brings new generation crop protection methods, seeds and biotechnological solutions, is an insect resistant genetically modified strain. The transferred gene confers resistance to cotton against certain lepidopteran pests. Intended uses of the genetically modified DAS-281-24-236 cotton strain exclude cultivation within European Union countries. The environmental risk assessment of this cotton strain is limited to indirect exposure through manure and faeces from animals that feed mainly on these products and are accidentally released into the environment. There is no indication that wild cotton plants are more likely to establish or survive. In the event of a spill and subsequent release of DAS-281-24-236 cotton seeds into the environment, this cotton strain has a selective advantage only when infested with target pests or in the presence of glufosinate-ammonium herbicides.
As a result, the information available for the DAS-281-24-236 cotton strain is considered to be as safe as its conventional counterpart and other suitable comparators in terms of potential effects on human and animal health and the environment in the context of their intended use, and addresses scientific interpretations expressed by European Union countries. is being done.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. DAS-281-24-236 cotton type determination and quantity analysis services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
