With the commercialization of corn rootworm (CRW) trangenics, it is important to consider the role of this new technology in relation to existing corn production systems that utilize integrated pest management. This session will identify issues related to the use of CRW transgenics in IPM productions systems including prophylactic vs. prescriptive use of the technology. Following introductory remarks, an eight member panel will discuss with the audience integration of transgenic hybrids in to integrated pest management production systems and the potential impact on alternative pest management options. This session will be highly interactive and audience members will be encouraged to ask questions and participate in the discussion.
