| A confined research field trial is the release of a plant with novel traits
(PNT), for research
purposes, under terms and conditions of confinement designed to minimize any
impact the PNT may have on
the environment. In Canada, confined field trials for research on PNTs provide developers with the
opportunity to evaluate the performance of PNTs, study the environmental safety of
these modified plants, address the criteria and information requirements
considered in the environmental safety assessment of PNTs for unconfined releases and generate
data for variety registration purposes.
Instructions, information requirements, and terms and conditions can be
