 New Patent Aims to Prevent Farmers from Saving Seed
While only cotton and tobacco seeds have been shown to respond to the new technique, the company plans to have what RAFI's Research Director Hope Shand has dubbed, "Terminator Technology" ready for a much wider range of crops shortly after the year 2000.
According to USDA spokesman Willard Phelps, the primary targets for the Terminator are "Second and Third World" markets.
