Experimental GMO wheat crop devoured by aphids; written off as yet another total biotech failure
‘A U.K.-based agricultural research organization recently threw away nearly $5 million on a failed field trial of experimental, genetically-modified (GM) wheat. Rothamsted Research says it is “disappointed” that the transgenic crop, known as “whiffy wheat,” utterly failed to deter aphids, succumbing to the same amount of insect damage as real wheat.
The company is blaming the controversial nature of the field trial for its high costs; most of the money was spent building elaborate fencing and installing high-tech security systems to keep people from destroying the “Frankencrops.” Most Brits, it turns out, not to mention Europeans and Americans, are vehemently opposed to GMOs, especially when they aren’t properly labeled.’
