325 West Main St.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Monsanto
Company said today it is preparing
formally to notify the U.S. En
vironmental Protection Agency of
the company’s intention to field
test soil bacteria that have been
changed through biotechnology to
produce a naturally occurring
insecticide.
Monsanto has developed
techniques for inserting into a
common type of soil bacteria a
gene which causes the bacteria to
make the insect toxin. The gene
comes from a microbe known as
Bacillus thuringiensis, which has
been registered for insecticidal
uses for more than 20 years, and
which has excellent safety
properties. The genetically
engineered microorganism would
be tested next spring at the
company’s research farms near
the company’s St. Louis
headquarters.
The test bacteria normally live
in the soil in association with crop
plant roots. With the new ability to
produce their own insecticide, the
bacteria can protect the plant roots
from certain types of soil-dwelling
insect pests.
“The genetically engineered
microbe has been studied in
laboratory, growth chamber and
Greenhouse tests,” said Dr. John

T. Marvel, general manager of
agricultural research at Monsanto.
“These studies indicate
possibilities for improved pest
control, but the microbe must be
tested in crops in the field to assess
its true potential for agriculture.”
An interim policy issued by the
EPA in October requires the
Agency be notified before any
small-scale field testing of
microbial pesticides is conducted.
In late November, Monsanto
submitted to the EPA some
preliminary testing data on the
microbe, and research protocols
on safety and environmental
studies the company has been
conducting. The results of these
studies and the formal notification
to the EPA of Monsanto’s proposed
field test will be submitted to the
Agency later this month.
“This research project is a
significant milestone in the ap
plication of biotechnology to
agriculture,” Dr. Marvel said.
“We have developed a test system
for soil insect control using
genetically engineered bacteria,
and if our field research confirms
that the system works, we can
apply these new techniques to
developingy and commericializing
products the farmer can use to
protect crop yields.”
