DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any manner inconsistent with its labeling. Information regarding commercial production reflected here and in the terms and conditions of this registration must be included in the Technology Use Guide. MON 89034 x TC1507 x MON 88017 x DAS-59122-7 protects corn crops from leaf, stalk, and ear damage caused by corn borers and root damage caused by corn rootworm larvae. In order to minimize the risk of these pests developing resistance to MON 89034 x TC1507 x MON 88017
x DAS-59122-7 corn, an insect resistance management plan must be implemented which includes planting of a structured refuge. Growers who fail to comply with the IRM requirements risk losing access to Monsanto's corn PEP products. These refuge requirements do not apply to seed increase/propagation of inbred and hybrid seed corn and small scale research trials for observation. Several options for deployment of the refuge for MON 89034 x TCI507 x MON 88017 x DAS59122-7 are available to growers. These options are based on the planting of MON 89034 x TC1507 x MON 88017 x DAS-59122-7 in cotton or non-cotton growing regions and the insect pressure present in those locations.

If corn rootworms are significant within a region, the structured refuge must be planted as an infield or adjacent refuge using corn hybrids that do not contain Bt technologies for the control of com borers or corn rootworms. It can be planted as a block within or adjacent (e.g., across the road) to the MON 89034 x TC1507 x MON 88017 x DAS-59122-7, perimeter strips (i.e., strips around the field), or in-field strips. If perimeter or in-field strips are implemented, the strips must be at least 4 consecutive rows wide. The refuge can be protected from lepidopteran damage by use of non-Bt insecticides if the population of one or more target lepidopteran pests of MON 89034 x TC1507 x MON 88017 x DAS-59122-7 in the refuge exceeds economic thresholds. In addition, the refuge can be protected from CRW damage by an appropriate seed treatment or soil insecticide; however, insecticides labeled for adult CRW control should be avoided in the refuge during the period of CRW adult emergence. Economic thresholds will be determined using methods recommended by local or regional professionals (e.g., Extension Service agents, crop consultants).

Sales of corn hybrids that contain Monsanto's Bt corn plant pesticide 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 com containing the Bt proteins is planted.
