This year genetically modified corn will again be grown on state-owned
fields in Bavaria, Germany, for experimental purposes.

The German Office of Agriculture announced that the experimental fields
trials are going to be scientifically supervised by the German Institute for
Agriculture.

According to the press release, the open-air experiments include the fields
trials, environmental monitoring and testing of the different corn
varieties. The total area of 8,5 hectares is clearly smaller than last year?
s 24 available hectares. The fields are registered in a country-wide
location register at [www.bvl-berlin.de].

As stated by the German Office of Agriculture, the experimental cultivation
should confirm last year?s results and provide further insight into
questions about the co-existence of transgenic and conventional corn. It is
chiefly concerned with the dispersion of pollen.

The German regions of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern were also a
part of the last year?s country-wide project, funded by the National
Research Office. The study coordinator is the University of Rostock July
2005. Translated by Tea Jankovic, Checkbiotech .
