In 2011, EPA began receiving reports of suspected resistance of western corn rootworm to the Cry3Bb1 protein in transgenic Bt corn. This presentation will provide an overview of EPA's activities with registrants, university scientists, and other stakeholders to improve corn rootworm resistance monitoring and develop remediation programs. Discussion will include a review of the recommendations of the Scientific Advisory Panel at a meeting held in late 2013.
