&lt;em&gt;To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state&amp;rsquo;s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers in Haryana and experts fear widespread contamination of genetically modified (GM) brinjal or eggplant in the state with the farmer accused of cultivating Bt brinjal in Fatehabad district in the northeastern part of the state, adjoining Punjab, admitting that he has been growing and selling the GM produce since 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM brinjal isn&amp;rsquo;t legal in India.&lt;br /&gt;

To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state&amp;rsquo;s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arjun Singh Saini, director-general of horticulture, Haryana, said: &amp;ldquo;We cannot take any measures to control contamination until the NBPGR test results are out. We have directed the farmer not to sell the produce.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of GM crops is contentious, with arguments existing on both sides. Still, with India not allowing the use of GM brinjal, the developments in Haryana are a clear violation of the law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 25, the GM-free coalition, a collective of farmers&amp;rsquo; organisations promoting organic farming, said in a statement that it collected samples from a Fatehabad farm and tested it through the lateral flow strip method. The samples tested positive for Bt Cry1Ac protein. Brinjal is genetically modified by inserting a protein gene (in this case Cry1Ac) that comes from a soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), into the Brinjal genome to make the plant resistant to some pests.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state&amp;rsquo;s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week.&lt;br /&gt;

Farmers in Haryana and experts fear widespread contamination of genetically modified (GM) brinjal or eggplant in the state with the farmer accused of cultivating Bt brinjal in Fatehabad district in the northeastern part of the state, adjoining Punjab, admitting that he has been growing and selling the GM produce since 2017.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state&amp;rsquo;s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers in Haryana and experts fear widespread contamination of genetically modified (GM) brinjal or eggplant in the state with the farmer accused of cultivating Bt brinjal in Fatehabad district in the northeastern part of the state, adjoining Punjab, admitting that he has been growing and selling the GM produce since 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM brinjal isn&amp;rsquo;t legal in India.&lt;br /&gt;

To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state&amp;rsquo;s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arjun Singh Saini, director-general of horticulture, Haryana, said: &amp;ldquo;We cannot take any measures to control contamination until the NBPGR test results are out. We have directed the farmer not to sell the produce.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of GM crops is contentious, with arguments existing on both sides. Still, with India not allowing the use of GM brinjal, the developments in Haryana are a clear violation of the law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 25, the GM-free coalition, a collective of farmers&amp;rsquo; organisations promoting organic farming, said in a statement that it collected samples from a Fatehabad farm and tested it through the lateral flow strip method. The samples tested positive for Bt Cry1Ac protein. Brinjal is genetically modified by inserting a protein gene (in this case Cry1Ac) that comes from a soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), into the Brinjal genome to make the plant resistant to some pests.&lt;br /&gt;

Scientists fear widespread contamination of Bt Brinjal - Jayashree Nandi

-Hindustan Times To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state’s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week. Farmers in Haryana and experts fear widespread contamination of genetically modified (GM) brinjal or eggplant in the state with the farmer accused of cultivating Bt brinjal in Fatehabad district in the northeastern part of the state, adjoining Punjab, admitting that he has been growing and selling the GM produce since 2017. GM brinjal isn’t legal in India. To understand the extent of the damage, the Haryana agriculture department is getting the state’s brinjal crop tested to determine whether it is GM-free at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), which will share the test results with the Haryana government next week. Arjun Singh Saini, director-general of horticulture, Haryana, said: “We cannot take any measures to control contamination until the NBPGR test results are out. We have directed the farmer not to sell the produce.” The use of GM crops is contentious, with arguments existing on both sides. Still, with India not allowing the use of GM brinjal, the developments in Haryana are a clear violation of the law. On April 25, the GM-free coalition, a collective of farmers’ organisations promoting organic farming, said in a statement that it collected samples from a Fatehabad farm and tested it through the lateral flow strip method. The samples tested positive for Bt Cry1Ac protein. Brinjal is genetically modified by inserting a protein gene (in this case Cry1Ac) that comes from a soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), into the Brinjal genome to make the plant resistant to some pests.
