Philippine Daily Inquirer MANILA, PhilippinesCrop biotechnology has significantly reduced the amount of chemical pesticide spraying worldwide by 474 million kilograms, or 9 percent, over the past 15 years, according to a report by PG Economics, a UK-based advisory and consultancy services provider specializing on plant biotechnology, agricultural production systems, agricultural markets and policy. The reduction is equivalent to the total amount of pesticide active ingredient applied to arable land in member countries of the European Union over a period of one-and-a-half crop years, the report noted. As a result, this has decreased the environmental impact associated with herbicide and insecticide use on the area planted to biotech crops by 18.1 percent, the PG Economics report said. Modern agriculture biotechnology has allowed the development of crop varieties with built-in resistance to traditional pests. Due to their natural ability to fight pests, such crop varieties no longer require the massive application of chemical pesticides. The report also pointed out that crop biotechnology has contributed to significantly reducing the release of greenhouse emissions from agricultural practices. This is due to the reduced use of fuel and additional soil carbon storage from reduced tillage with biotech crop varieties, it said. In 2011, this was … Continue reading →

Biotechnology researchers and U.S. officials are rushing to try to make more of what may be the most promising experimental drug to treat Ebola after supply ran out in August. The drug, ZMapp, is made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. Mapp and its partners have had early discussions with Amgen Inc. (AMGN) about the feasibility of increasing production of the antibody cocktail using a traditional biotechnology manufacturing technique, said Bryan Callahan, a senior program officer with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation gave Mapp a $150,000 grant to look at whether a new large-scale production technique is possible. No final decision has been made on the pharma partner, Callahan said in an e-mail. Amgen, based in Thousand Oaks, California, is the worlds biggest biotechnology company by sales. ZMapp is currently made using tobacco plants, which can be induced to grow the antibodies in the drug. Federal officials have also considered an expanded tobacco-based production process. The cocktail of three antibodies has been used to treat two Ebola-infected American health workers who recovered, a Spanish priest who died and three Liberian health workers. Mapp, a closely held, San Diego-based company, developed ZMapp with the Public Health Agency of Canada and … Continue reading →
