Study on herbicide-tolerant crops: metabolism and water monitoring feasibility.
The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) is procuring two studies related to herbicide-tolerant (HT) crop varieties. The first study focuses on the metabolism and degradation of herbicides by HT varieties. The second study assesses the feasibility of establishing a monitoring network to evaluate the impact of HT crop cultivation on water quality. The contract is for services, likely involving laboratory analysis and field surveys. Bidders must demonstrate expertise in agronomy, herbicide metabolism, and water quality monitoring. The duration is not specified but is expected to be multi-year. The buyer is ANSES, a French public agency.
