| Seeds of genetically modified (GM) crops remaining in the field after harvest may later emerge as volunteers. These can affect the purity of subsequently harvested crops and cause an uncontrolled flow of GM pollen into the agro-ecosystem. Management strategies that reduce these long-term effects of GM crops include (1) minimizing the input of GM seeds into the soil, (2) preventing proliferation by volunteers and (3) fast depletion of the soil GM seed bank. Formulation of such strategies requires knowledge of the biology of the GM plant (seed loss at or before harvest, seed survival, germination and emergence rates, reproduction, etc.) and of the effect of management practices on the different life stages. Of the GM crops considered for cultivation in... |
