Insect Resistance Management (IRM)   

We strongly support the IRM requirements for planting and managing refuge blocks of non-insect-resistant crops adjacent to or nearby commercial crops with Bt technology. We also work closely with others in the industry, such as the National Corn Growers Association, to provide educational materials and training on IRM.

These initiatives will help ensure the effectiveness of performance-enhancing traits – such as those in our family of Herculex^® Insect Protection traits and WideStrike^® Insect Protection cotton varieties – and protect the growing options for producers around the world.
