Gall Fly
|
To release from containment the mist flower gall fly, Procecidochares alani (Steyskal), for the purpose of biological control of mist flower (Argeratina riparia). | NOR99004 |
|
Tiny Wasp
|
To import for release the biological control agent, giving citrus and avocado growers an alternative option for controlling green house thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis) (Bouche). | NOR99002 |

|
GM Sheep
|
To field test in containment in the Waikato region, genetically modified sheep with an inactivated myostatin gene, to increase the understanding of myostatin function in order to identify the effects on sheep muscularity. | GMF99004 |
|
GM Maize
|
To field test genetically modified, herbicide tolerant maize (005) and insect resistant maize (006) for breeding purposes, in the Waikato Region. | GMF98005 GMF98006 |
