Stay In Front Of The Eight Ball
A Heads-Up On Transition From
Bollgard To Bollgard II

Developing a plan to remove a biopesticide from the marketplace can be just as challenging as bringing one into the marketplace.
"This is the first time anyone has done this with biotech seed," says Dave Rhylander, Monsanto's marketing manager for the Cotton Belt. "Monsanto has submitted a plan to the EPA outlining the transition from Bollgard to Bollgard II, but we may not have an answer from the agency until Aug. 9."
In the meantime, however, the company wants to communicate pertinent points included in the plan so cotton farmers will have some idea of what to expect. Bollgard, the biopesticide, is regulated by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). According to this law, a product must be sold and distributed by its final registration date, which, for Bollgard, is Sept. 30, 2009.
