<p style="text-align: justify;">MON89034 x TC1507 x MON88017 x DAS-59122-7 (OECD identifier: MON-89&Oslash;34-3 x DAS- &Oslash;15&Oslash;7-1 x MON-88&Oslash;17-3 x DAS-59122-7) maize is the result of crossing four individual transgenic events. This stacked maize hybrid is a product of traditional plant breeding, and therefore is not automatically subject to regulation in all jurisdictions, as are transgenic plants resulting from recombinant-DNA technologies. Certain jurisdictions may request notification in advance of the release of a stacked hybrid, or may request information to conduct an environmental and food safety assessment.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">MON89034 x TC1507 x MON88017 x DAS-59122-7 (SmartStax&trade;) maize provides above-ground insect control for protection against corn earworm, European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, sugar cane borer, fall armyworm, western bean cutworm and black cutworm; and below-ground insect control for protection against Western, Northern and Mexican corn rootworms. In addition, this hybrid displays tolerance to glyphosate and glufosinate-ammonium containing herbicides, allowing for broad-spectrum weed and grass control.</p>
