Presencia adventicia: mezcla inadvertida y coexistencia entre métodos de cultivo

La presencia adventicia se refiere a la mezcla no intencional de cantidades mínimas de un tipo de semilla o producto, con otro. Aunque este proceso puede ocurrir con los cultivos obtenidos en forma tradicional, la presencia adventicia normalmente contempla las semillas y productos de ingeniería genética en un material que no la ha experimentado. Este documento provee un marco de trabajo para discutir el desarrollo de una política basada en la ciencia para aplicar a la presencia adventicia.

Adventitious Presence: Inadvertent Commingling and Coexistence among Farming Methods

Adventitious presence refers to the unintended commingling of trace amounts of one type of seed, or product, with another.

This document will provide a framework to discuss development of a science-based policy for adventitious presence.
