**UPDATE APRIL 27, 2017: Corrections have been made to these tables. Specifically, the Agrisure Products 3110, 3111 and 3122 are now approved in the EU. See links provided below.
Many of you have been asking for the 2017 Bt Traits tables for Canada so here they are.
Bt Corn Products/Traits Currently Available in Canada – As of April 27, 2017
Technologies de maïs Bt présentement disponibles au Canada – avril 27 2017
Of note is the removal of western bean cutworm from products within the table containing only the Cry1F trait as this trait no longer provides adequate protection against WBC. Only hybrids containing Vip3A provide protection against WBC now. If you are planting a corn hybrid this year that does not contain Vip3A, expect to scout for WBC egg masses this summer and spray if thresholds are reached.
More information on WBC monitoring, scouting and management to come soon. The CCPC website is currently down for maintenance/refresh. We hope to have both the CCPC website and the WBC Trap Network up in early May. In the meantime, any relevant information on WBC and the trap network will be provided here at FieldCropNews. So stay tuned!
