WHAT'S NEW
limited to the biochemical mechanisms
of herbicide degradation, the commer-
cial development of his findings will
have to wait until an outside business
expresses an interest.
Any company wishing to market the
bacteria, Dr. Behki says, would first
have to do some tests to see how the
bacteria work in the field.
According to Dr. Behki, the concen-
trations of herbicide in commercial
containers are different from the experi-
mental samples, and he is not sure how
the bacteria would perform in used
herbicide containers. They might need
more time to work or more restricted
conditions. There has been no commer-
cial interest to date.
Currently, farmers have no access to
these bacteria. Dr. Behki says that the
Research Centre does not want to hand
bacteria out indiscriminantly.
The bacteria would have to be
handled properly, he adds; "otherwise
they may create more problems than
they solve."
But a product to clean herbicide cans
will be available at some point in the
future, Dr. Behki says. "The technology
is there. It just has to be developed."0
