Location of petunia field trials secret
March 24 1999
The Press, New Zealand

WANGANUI -- Field trials of genetically modified
petunias are about to start in Manawatu, but the
Crop and Food Research Institute says it will not
disclose the location of the trial.

Crop and Food experiments with genetically
modified potatoes at Lincoln in Canterbury were
vandalised earlier this month, after the location of
the potatoes was disclosed in an application to the
Environmental Risk Management Authority.

Institute spokesman Howard Bezar said the project
was specifically designed to field-test petunia plants
genetically modified to produce new and different
flower and foliage colours.

The trial has been approved by Erma and funded by
the horticultural industry and individual companies,
but has also received some public funding as a
"public-good" science project. -- NZPA
