EU Approves Pioneer Hi-Bred International's Biotech Maize for Food
Decision Paves Way for Imports of 1507 Maize Into the European Union
07-Mar-2006
This authorization follows the positive safety evaluation of 1507 maize by the European Food Safety Authority. According to Hi-Bred 1507 maize offers broad 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, because it produces more grain on the same land area, it improves farm productivity and profitability.
