US extends comment period for GM alfalfa
The USDA has extended the comment period on its planned deregulation of Monsanto’s genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant alfalfa. The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued a draft environmental impact statement on December 18th with a 60-day comment period ( Agrow No 583, p 15). That has been extended by 15 days to March 3rd.
