An IRM plan is mandated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
	Roundup Ready® Corn 2 (APEX Trait Code: R) Contains in-plant tolerance to Roundup® brand herbicides, enabling growers to spray Roundup brands over the top, from planting through the V8 stagewith excellent crop safety. The US regulatory agencies have given full approval to Roundup Ready Corn 2 for commerce in the US for marketing and consumption as food, food ingredients and feed for livestock.
