EU Approves Pioneer Maize For Food
6 March 2006 “Today’s decision is great news for farmers and for Pioneer,” said Dean Oestreich, president, Pioneer on Friday. “This approval supports expanded choices for farmers and recognizes the safety and value of Pioneer biotech products worldwide.”
Planted in Argentina, Canada, and the US, and other markets, 1507 maize offers in-plant insect protection against the European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, western bean cutworm, black cutworm and fall armyworm. It also helps reduce pesticide applications and improves sustainable agriculture practices.
Jointly developed by Pioneer and Dow AgroSciences LLC, maize hybrids with the 1507 trait have already been approved in 12 other countries around the world.
