In this presentation, I will first review the current non-target organism testing paradigms required by U.S. Regulatory Agencies for genetically modified insect control crops and then discuss the scientific bases underlying the current non-target organisms data requirement. Finally, I will present information on the scope and design of scientifically sound non-target insect studies with transgenic Bt crops.
