The current owners of most of these traits, Bayer, Syngenta and Corteva, declined to comment on these specific corn hybrid and cotton variety phase-out proposals.

However, Bayer and Syngenta both provided statements saying that they were analyzing the draft and were planning to comment to EPA as a group, via the Agricultural Biotechnology Stewardship Technical Committee (ABSTC).

"We remain committed to working with the EPA on practical approaches for IRM [integrated resistance management] while preserving grower choice and will use the timeframe provided before making any decisions on next steps," a Syngenta statement emailed to DTN said.

In his statement, Graham Head, head of resistance management at Bayer, echoed that sentiment and added, "The EPA stresses that this is a draft proposal and they are still seeking feedback per the public comment period. Specifically, EPA says it will 'modify the proposal as appropriate and work with registrants to finalize a new IRM framework for Bt corn and cotton PIP registrations.'"

Once again, any member of the public can comment on this EPA draft proposal here through Nov. 9, 2020: https://www.regulations.gov/…
