II.	Background
EPA has registered a stacked PIP product designed to provide control of two different kinds of
insects. A stacked PIP contains separate plant-incorporated protectant active ingredients which
target different kinds of pests. In the case of YieldGard® Plus corn, corn produces both the
CrylAb and Cry3Bbl proteins and controls leaf and stalk damage from insects such as the
European corn borer (a moth) and root damage from com rootworms (a beetle).
YieldGard® Plus corn was produced by conventional breeding of single PIP trait corn lines
MON 810 (YieldGard® Com Borer) and MON 863 (YieldGard® Rootworm). YieldGard® Plus
corn produces proteins derived from a soil bacterium known as Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt. For
many years, organic farmers have used Bt powders or sprays to control insects that attack plants.
Now scientists can place Bt derived genes into plants, so that the plants can produce proteins
thereby protecting the plant from the insect pests.
EPA evaluated data regarding the stacked product and has required non-target invertebrate field
studies and Cry protein field degradation studies, as was required for the single PIP trait products
from which YieldGard® Plus was bred. This is the first crop genetically engineered to target
two different insect groups.
The refuge requirements for YieldGard® Plus combine those requirements already in place for
the single PIP trait products MON 810 (YieldGard® Corn Borer and MON 863 (YieldGard®
Rootworm) that provide com borer and rootworm protection. The YieldGard® Plus refuges for
com borer and rootworm can either be combined or separated.
III.	Science Assessment
Product characterization data demonstrated that YieldGard® Plus Com, which resulted from the
conventional cross of MON 810 and MON 863, contains the cry Mb I and crySBbl genes and
that there have been no major alterations or rearrangements in the conventional cross of these
2

-------
two events (lines) for these two gene inserts. The data generated for the Cryl Ab and Cry3Bbl
proteins individually support the food safety determination for the stacked trait corn since the
mode of action for these proteins does not suggest an enhanced activity in combination for
mammalian species. This lack of synergism is also suggested by the absence of enhanced
responses in sensitive target species tested with the combination of Cryl Ab and Cry3Bbl
proteins. Studies were conducted and submitted to test the hypothesis that the Cryl Ab and
Cry.lRbl proteins do not interact when combined in YieldGard® Plus Corn. It. was concluded
from leaf disk, whole plant and in vitro studies with purified Bt protein that there are no
interactive effects on susceptible insect pests when the Cryl Ab and Cry3Bbl proteins are
combined in YieldGard® Plus Corn. Since combining these proteins in YieldGard® Plus Corn
does not change the level of susceptibility of susceptible pests compared to single trait MON 810
and MON 863 corn, it can be concluded that there will not be a difference for non-target insects
not susceptible to the Cryl Ab or Cry3Bbl proteins.

7] Submit annual reports on sales(by state and county), IRM grower agreements results,
compliance, and educational program on or before January 31st each year beginning in 2005.
a. Refuge Requirements
These refuge requirements do not apply to seed increase/propagation of inbred and hybrid seed
corn.
Grower agreements (also known as stewardship agreements) will specify that growers must
adhere to the following refuge requirements as described in the grower guide/product use guide
and/or in supplements to the grower guide/product use guide.
Corn Belt / Non-Cotton Growing Region Refuge Requirements
For corn grown in the US Corn Belt two options for deployment of the refuge are available to
growers.
The first option is planting a common refuge for both corn borers and com rootworms. The
common refuge must be planted with corn hybrids that do not contain Bt technologies for the
control of corn rootworms or corn borers. The refuge area must represent at least 20% of the
grower's com acres (i.e. sum of YieldGard Plus acres and refuge acres). It can be planted as a
block adjacent to the YieldGard Plus field, perimeter strips, or in-field strips. If perimeter strips
are implemented, the strips must be at least 6, and preferably 12 consecutive rows wide. If strips
within the YieldGard Plus field are implemented, then at least 6, and preferably 12 consecutive
rows should be planted. The common refuge can be treated with a soil-applied or seed-applied
insecticide to control rootworm larvae and other soil pests. The refuge can also be treated with a
non-Bt foliar insecticide for control of late season pests if pest pressure reaches an economic
threshold for damage; however, if rootworm adults are present at the time of foliar applications
then the YieldGard Plus field must be treated in a similar manner.
The second option is planting separate refuge areas for corn borers and corn rootworms. The
corn borer refuge must be planted with a non-Bt/lepidoteran-protected hybrid, must represent at
least 20% of the grower's corn acres (i.e. sum of YieldGard Plus acres and corn borer refuge
acres), and must be planted within 54 mile of the YieldGard Plus field. The corn borer refuge can
be treated with a soil-applied or seed-applied insecticide for corn rootworm larval control, or a
non-Bt foliar-applied insecticide for corn borer control if pest pressure reaches an economic
threshold for damage. The corn rootworm refuge must be planted with a non-Bt/corn rootworm-
protected hybrid, but can be planted with Bt com hybrids that control corn borers. The corn
rootworm refuge must represent at least 20% of the grower's corn acres (i.e. sum of YieldGard
Plus acres and com rootworm refuge acres) and can be planted as an adjacent block, perimeter
strips, or in-field strips. The corn rootworm refuge can be treated with a soil-applied or seed-
applied insecticide to control rootworm larvae and other soil pests. The refuge can also be
treated with a non-Bt foliar insecticide for control of late season pests; however, if rootworm
adults are present at the time of foliar applications then the YieldGard Plus field must be treated
in a similar manner. Growers who fail to comply with the IRM requirements risk losing access
to the product.
5

-------
Cotton Growing Area Refuge Requirements
For YieldGard Plus corn grown in cotton-growing areas the common refuge and separate refuge
options are also available, however, the refuge area is larger. Cotton-growing areas include the
following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, 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 Dunkin, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Scott, and Stoddard).
The first option is planting a common refuge for both com borers and corn rootworms. The
common refuge must be planted with corn hybrids that do not contain Bt technologies for the
control of corn rootworms or corn borers. The refuge area must represent at least 50% of the
grower's corn acres (i.e. sum of YieldGard Plus acres and refuge acres). It can be planted as a
block adjacent to the YieldGard Plus field, perimeter strips, or in-field strips. If perimeter strips
are implemented, the strips must be at least 6, and preferably 12 consecutive rows wide. If strips
within the YieldGard Plus field are implemented, then at least 6, and preferably 12 consecutive
rows should be planted. The common refuge can be treated with a soil-applied or seed-applied
insecticide to control rootworm larvae and other soil pests. The refuge can also be treated with a
non-Bt foliar insecticide for control of late season pests if pest pressure reaches an economic
threshold for damage; however, if rootworm adults are present at the time of foliar applications
then the YieldGard Plus field must be treated in a similar manner.
The second option is planting separate refuge areas for corn borers and com rootworms. The
com borer refuge must be planted with a non-Bt/lepidopteran-protected hybrid, must represent at
least 50% of the grower's com acres (i.e. sum of YieldGard Plus acres and corn borer refuge
acres), and must be planted within Vi mile of the YieldGard Plus field. The com borer refuge can
be treated with a soil-applied or seed-applied insecticide for com rootworm larval control, or a
non-Bt foliar-applied insecticide for com borer control if pest pressure reaches an economic
threshold for damage. The com rootworm refuge must be planted with a non-Bt com/rootworm-
protected hybrid, but can be planted with Bt com hybrids that control com borers. The com
rootworm refuge must represent at least 20% of the grower's com acres (i.e. sum of YieldGard
Plus acres and com rootworm refuge acres) and be planted as an adjacent block, perimeter strips,
or in-field strips. The com rootworm refuge can be treated with a soil-applied or seed-applied
insecticide to control rootworm larvae and other soil pests. The refuge can also be treated with a
non-Bt foliar insecticide for control of late season pests; however, if rootworm adults are present
at the time of foliar applications then the YieldGard Plus field must be treated in a similar
manner. Growers who fail to comply with the IRM requirements risk losing access to the
product.
b. Grower Agreements
1] Persons purchasing the Bt com product must sign a grower agreement. The term "grower
6

-------
agreement" refers to any grower purchase contract, license agreement, or similar legal document.
2]	The grower agreement and/or specific stewardship documents referenced in the grower
agreement must clearly set forth the terms of the current IRM program. By signing the grower
agreement, a grower must be contractually bound to comply with the requirements of the IRM
program.
3]	The registrant must develop a system (equivalent to what is already approved for MON 810,
EPA Reg. No. 524-489) which is reasonably likely to assure that persons purchasing the Bt corn
product will affirm annually that they are contractually bound to comply with the requirements
of the IRM program. The proposed system will be submitted to EPA within 90 days from the
date of registration.
4]	The registrant must use grower agreements and submit to EPA within 90 days from the date of
registration a copy of that agreement and any specific stewardship documents referenced in the
grower agreement. If Monsanto wishes to change any part of the grower agreement or any
specific stewardship documents referenced in the grower agreement that would affect either the
content of the IRM program or the legal enforceability of the provisions of the agreement
relating to the ERM program, thirty days prior to implementing a proposed change, the registrant
must submit to EPA the text of such changes to ensure that it is consistent with the terms and
conditions of the amendment.
5]	The registrant must establish a system (equivalent to what is already approved for MON 810,
EPA Reg. No. 524-489) which is reasonably likely to assure that persons purchasing the Bt corn
sign grower agreement(s), and must provide within 90 days from the date of the registration a
written description of that system.
6]	The registrant shall maintain records of all Bt corn grower agreements for a period of three
years from December 31 st of the year in which the agreement was signed.
7]	Beginning on January 31, 2005 and annually thereafter, the registrant shall provide EPA with
a report showing the number of units of its YieldGard Plus® corn seeds sold or shipped and not
returned, and the number of such units that were sold to persons who have signed grower
agreements. The report shall cover the time frame of the twelve-month period covering the prior
August through July.
8]	The registrant must allow a review of the grower agreements and grower agreement records
by EPA or by a State pesticide regulatory agency if the State agency can demonstrate that
confidential business information, including names, personal information, and grower license
number, will be protected,
c. IRM Education and IRM Compliance Monitoring Pro gams
7

-------
1]	Monsanto must design and implement a comprehensive, ongoing IRM education program
designed to convey to YieldGard Plus corn users the importance of complying with the IRM
program. The program shall include information encouraging YieldGard Plus com users to
pursue optional elements of the IRM program relating to refuge configuration and proximity to
YieldGard Plus corn fields. The education program shall involve the use of multiple media, e.g.
face-to-face meetings, mailing written materials, EPA reviewed language on IRM requirements
on the bag or bag tag, and electronic communications such as by Internet, radio, or television
commercials. Copies of the materials will he provided to EPA for its records. The program shall
involve at least one written communication annually to each YieldGard Plus corn user separate
from the grower technical guide. The communication shall inform the user of the current IRM
requirements. Monsanto shall coordinate its education programs with educational efforts of
other registrants and other organizations, such as the National Corn Grower Association and state
extension programs.
2]	Annually, the registrant shall revise, and expand as necessary, its education program to take
into account the information collected through the compliance survey required under paragraph
6] and from other sources. The changes shall address aspects of grower compliance that are not
sufficiently high.
3]	Beginning January 31, 2005 and annually thereafter, the registrants must provide a report to
EPA summarizing the activities carried out under the education program for the prior year and
the plans for their education program during the current year. The registrant must either submit a
separate report or contribute to the report from the industry working group (ABSTC).
4]	The registrant must design and implement an ongoing IRM compliance assurance program
designed to evaluate the extent to which growers purchasing its YieldGard® Plus Bt corn
product are complying with the IRM program and that takes such actions as are reasonably
needed to assure that growers who have not complied with the program either do so in the future
or lose their access to the YieldGard® Plus Bt corn product. Monsanto shall ensure that the
YieldGard® Plus compliance assurance program (CAP) will be consistent with and integrated
with the CAPs for MON 863 and MON 810, EPA Registration Nos. 524-489 and 524-528. The
registrant must prepare and submit within 90 days of the date of registration a written description
of their compliance assurance program including a summary of the program to be implemented
in the 2004 growing season. Other required features of the program are described in paragraphs
5]	- 15] below.
5] The registrant must establish and publicize a "phased compliance approach," i.e., a guidance
document that indicates how the registrant will address instances of non-compliance with the
terms of the IRM program and general criteria for choosing among options for responding to any
non-compliant growers. The options shall include withdrawal of the right to purchase YieldGard
Plus corn for an individual grower or for all growers in a specific region. An individual grower
found to be significantly out of compliance two years in a row would be denied sales of the
product the next year. Similarly, seed dealers who are not fulfilling their obligations to
8

-------
inform/educate growers of their IRM obligations will lose their opportunity to sell YieldGard
Plus corn.
6]	The IRM compliance assurance program shall include an annual survey of a statistically
representative sample of Bt corn growers conducted by an independent third party. The survey
shall measure the degree of compliance with the IRM program by growers in different regions of
the country and consider the potential impact of non-response. The sample size and
geographical resolution may be adjusted annually, based upon input from the independent
marketing research firm and academic scientists, to allow analysis of compliance behavior within
regions or between regions. The sample size must provide a reasonable sensitivity for
comparing results across the U.S.
7]	The survey shall be designed to provide an understanding of any difficulties growers
encounter in implementing IRM requirements. An analysis of the survey results must include
the reasons, extent, and potential biological significance of any implementation deviations.
8]	The survey shall be designed to obtain grower feedback on the usefulness of specific
educational tools and initiatives.
9]	The registrant shall provide a preliminary summary of their findings by November 15 and a
final written summary of the results of the prior year's survey (together with a description of the
regions, the methodology used, and the supporting data) to EPA bv January 31 of each year. The
registrant shall confer with EPA on the design and content of the survey prior to its
implementation.
10]	Annually, the registrant shall revise, and expand as necessary, its compliance assurance
program to take into account the information collected through the compliance survey required
under paragraphs 6] through 8] and from other sources. The changes shall address aspects of
grower compliance that are not sufficiently high. The registrant must confer with the Agency
prior to adopting any changes,
11]	The registrant shall train its representatives who make on-farm visits with YieldGard Plus
corn growers to perform assessments of compliance with IRM requirements. In the event that
any of these visits result in the identification of a grower who is not in compliance with the IRM
program, the registrant shall take appropriate action, consistent with its "phased compliance
approach," to promote compliance.
12]	The registrant shall carry out a program for investigating legitimate "tips and complaints"
that its growers are not in compliance with the IRM program. Whenever an investigation results
in the identification of a grower who is not in compliance with the IRM program, the registrant
shall take appropriate action, consistent with its "phased compliance approach."
13]	If a grower, who purchases YieldGard Plus corn for planting, was specifically identified as
9

-------
not being in compliance during the previous year, the registrant shall visit with the grower and
evaluate whether that the grower is in compliance with the IRM program for the current year.
14]	Beginning January 31, 2005 and annually thereafter, Monsanto shall provide a report to EPA
summarizing the activities carried out under their compliance assurance program for the prior
year and the plans for the compliance assurance program during the current year. The report will
include information regarding grower interactions (including, but not limited to, on-farm visits,
verified tips and complaints, grower meetings and letters), the extent of non-compliance,
corrective measures to address the non-compliance, and any follow-up actions taken.
15]	The registrant and the seed com dealers for the registrant must allow a review of the
compliance records by EPA or by a State pesticide regulatory agency if the State agency can
demonstrate that confidential business information, including the names, personal information,
and grower license number of the growers will be protected.
d.	Insect Resistance Monitoring
The Agency is imposing the following conditions for this product:
1)	The registrant will monitor for resistance and/or trends in increased tolerance for corn
rootworm, European corn borer, Southwestern corn borer, and corn earworm. Sampling should
be focused in those areas in which there is the highest risk of resistance development. Monitoring
must be carried out under the same protocols used for the individual trait products MON 810 and
MON 863, EPA Registration Nos. 524-489 and 524-528.
2)	The registrant shall provide to EPA a description of its resistance monitoring plan by January
31, 2005. The description shall include: sampling (number of locations and samples per
locations), sampling methodology, bioassay methodology, standardization procedures, detection
technique and sensitivity, and the statistical analysis of the probability of detecting resistance.
3)	The registrant must follow up on grower, extension specialist or consultant reports of less
than expected results or control failures for all pests listed on the label and/or grower guide. The
registrant will instruct its customers (growers and seed distributors) to contact them (e.g., via a
toll-free customer service number) if incidents of unexpected levels of damage occurs from these
target pests. The registrant will investigate all damage reports submitted to the company or the
company's representatives. See Remedial Action Plans section below.
4)	A report on results of resistance monitoring and investigations of damage reports must be
submitted to the Agency annually by April 30th each year for the duration of the conditional
registration, beginning in 2005.
e.	Remedial Action Plans
10

-------
A Remedial Action Plan covering both suspected and confirmed resistance for corn rootworm,
European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, and corn earworm must be submitted by
1/31/2005. If resistance is confirmed, all acres (YieldGard Plus and refuges) should be treated
with insecticides targeted at CRW adults as well as larvae.
