An environmental risk assessment of maize containing event, DP-Ø51291–2, with activity against corn rootworms (Diabrotica spp.) via expression of the protein, IPD072Aa
An environmental risk assessment of maize containing event, DP-Ø51291–2, with activity against corn rootworms (Diabrotica spp.) via expression of the protein, IPD072Aa
Maize event DP-Ø51291–2 expresses the protein, IPD072Aa, which is derived from Pseudomonas chlororaphis, encoded by the ipd072Aa gene, to provide corn rootworm control. An environmental risk assessment was conducted for DP-Ø51291–2 maize which characterized potential exposure and hazard of the IPD072Aa protein to non-target organisms (NTOs). To estimate potential exposure to the IPD072Aa protein, worst-case estimated environmental concentrations (EECs) and refined EECs, where applicable, were calculated.
