APHIS Approves KWS and Bayer's KWS20-1 HT Sugarbeet
APRIL 22, 2024
The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has approved glufosinate, dicamba, and glyphosate herbicide tolerant sugar beet (KWS20-1) developed by Bayer Crop Science and KWS. APHIS has determined that the genetically modified plants are unlikely to pose an increased plant pest risk compared to other cultivated plants, and as a result are not subject to increased regulation and may be safely grown and bred in the US.
