Two more varieties are currently going through variety production test. One glyphosate tolerance event is currently undergoing Phase 4. Two more events are being submitted for Phase 3. More than one thousand glyphosate tolerance events are under Phase 1. Two Bt events are under Phase 2 and over two hundreds events are being tested in Phase 1. Six events of “Glyphosate + Bt” are under Phase 2 while more than 4,500 events are being screened in Phase 1.

Registration Trial 1 ? Registration Trial  2 ? Field Demo ? Approval Pre-Registration Trial ? Registration Trial 1 ? Registration Trial 2 + Field Demo ? Approval Each step leading up to Approval takes approximately one year. In some localities, Registration Trial 2 and Field Demo are treated as one and the same step.
