Accomplishments

22 NCCC46 and NC205 members submitted a letter to the EPA Open Docket Plant-Incorporated Protectant Insect Resistance Management (IRM) titled "Comment submitted by Patrick Porter, North Central Coordinating Committee NCCC46 (22 members)" concerning western corn rootworm resistance to Bt corn and focus on IPM and IRM in U.S. corn production (March 2012). Submitted multi-state funding proposal to Agricultural Experiment Station Directors titled "Need for research and coordination to sustain the use of Bt corn in the USA". Proposal accepted by AES directors April 2012 with AES directors issuing a resolution of support for this effort. Proposed work will cover research and extension initiatives to preserve efficacy and use of Bt corn, clarify scientific definitions of resistance, operationalize these definitions in regulatory terms, identify and fill research data gaps on resistance development and improve information flow on insect resistance in Bt crops between public sector scientists, producers and registrants.

Impacts

The June 18-19, 2012 interim meeting of NCCC46 and NC205 was authorized as a planning meeting to organize 3 additional meetings (Oct. 2012; Jan. 2013; Mar. 2013) as outlined in meeting minutes.
Cumulative impacts resulting from the June 18-19, 2012 and October 23-24, 2012 meetings will be featured in the NCCC46 Annual Report following the January 2013 meeting in New Orleans, LA.
