Brazilian authorities have approved the use of a new genetically-modified soy seed which was developed jointly by BASF and Embrapa in the world's No. 2 soy exporter.

Brazil's CTNBio biosecurity commission have approved the use of a new genetically-modified soy seed which was developed jointly by BASF and Embrapa in the world's No. 2 soy exporter.

The soy is tolerant of imidazoline-based herbicides. Currently the only GMO soy available in Brazil is Monsanto's glyphosate herbicide-resistant Roundup Ready. BASF said it plans to launch the seed in the 2011/12 soy season.
