Peter Melchett, Soil Association policy director said: “The GM wheat trial at Rothamstead was a waste of time and money whether it worked or not. As many people said when the trial was first announced, aphids are not a significant problem on wheat crops in the UK, which is confirmed by the fact that organic farmers, using no insecticides, do not have significant problems with aphids attacking their wheat crops, with no use of pesticides.
