Abstract
In 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Monsanto announced the registration of YieldGard Rootworm™ corn containing event MON863. These hybrids express a protein in the roots from the soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that is toxic to larval corn rootworms.
This NebFact discusses management requirements, refuge considerations, within-field configurations when using YieldGard Rootworm™.
