DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this seed in any manner inconsistent with this labeling. Information regarding commercial production must be included in the grower guide. MON 89034 can be used to protect corn plants from leaf, stalk, and ear damage caused by corn borers.
Refuge Requirements
A refuge must consist of corn hybrids that do not contain Bt technologies for the control of corn rootworms or corn borers. This product achieves the required refuge as the refuge is interspersed within the field and occurs only by planting a licensed seed-mixture containing MON 89034 or MON 89034 stacked with other non-PIP technologies, with a minimum of 5% non-PIP seed. This refuge configuration complies with refuge requirements only in the U.S. Corn Belt.
The sufficiency of this refuge configuration is defined by geography, and ultimately is based on insect presence and species. The seed mix refuge option for MON 89034 complies with refuge requirements only in the U.S. Corn Belt.
The 95/5% MON 89034 seed mix product may be planted in cotton growing areas; however, planting the 95/5% MON 89034 seed mix in cotton growing areas still requires planting an additional 20% structured refuge (block, strips, or border) as defined for MON 89034 EPA registration 524-575. The interspersed refuge option for MON 89034 does not alone comply with refuge requirements in cotton growing areas. Cotton-growing areas include the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Mississippi, South Carolina, Oklahoma (only the counties of Beckham, Caddo, Comanche, Custer, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kay, Kiowa, Tillman, and Washita), Tennessee (only the counties of Carroll, Chester, Crockett, Dyer, Fayette, Franklin, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Lake, Lauderdale, Lincoln, Madison, Obion, Rutherford, Shelby, and Tipton), Texas (except the counties of Carson, Dallam, Hansford, Hartley, Hutchinson, Lipscomb, Moore, Ochiltree, Roberts, and Sherman), Virginia (only the counties of Dinwiddie, Franklin City, Greensville, Isle of Wight, Northampton, Southampton, Suffolk City, Surrey, and Sussex) and Missouri (only the counties of Dunklin, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Scott, and Stoddard). The seed mix (interspersed) refuge option under this registration is limited to planting specifically licensed seed corn of MON 89034 and MON 89034 stacks with non-PIP corn.
With this option, the field containing an interspersed refuge may be treated with labeled insecticides to control additional corn pests, including larval or adult lepidopteran pests, because both the MON 89034 and refuge are treated in the same manner. Insecticide treatments for control of European corn borer, corn earworm, southwestern corn borer, southern cornstalk borer, sugarcane borer, fall armyworm, and corn stalk borer may be applied only if economic thresholds are reached for one or more of these target pests. Economic thresholds will be determined using methods recommended by local or regional professionals (e.g., Extension Service agents, crop consultants). Microbial Bt insecticides must not be applied to the field containing a seed mix interspersed refuge.
Corn Insects Controlled
European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis
Southwestern corn borer Diatraea grandiosella
Southern cornstalk borer Diatraea crambidoides
Corn earworm Helicoverpa zea
Fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda
Corn stalk borer Papaipema nebris
Sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis
Sales of corn hybrids that contain Monsanto's Bt corn plant incorporated protectant must be accompanied by a grower guide which includes information on planting, production and insect resistance management and notes that routine applications of insecticides to control these insects are usually unnecessary when corn containing the Bt proteins is planted.
This plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) may be combined through conventional breeding with other registered plant-incorporated protectants that are similarly approved for use in combination, through conventional breeding, with other registered plant-incorporated protectants to produce inbred corn lines and hybrid corn varieties with combined pesticidal traits.
