Protected Site - Site for Field Trials of Genetically Modified Plants
Agroscope is operating a protected field site at the location Reckenholz (Zurich) to enable field experiments with genetically modified plants in Switzerland. The aim of those experiments is to identify the potential and the limitations of green gene technology.
Risk assessment for beneficials
Macroorganisms are a common means of protecting plants from pests. International guidelines define how they are to be used.
