The Minnesota Department of
Agriculture (MDA) today
lifted the stop-sale order for
Dow AgroSciences “DAS-59122-7,”
a corn rootworm resistance trait
found in some Pioneer and
Mycogen brand seed. The seed is
now approved for distribution
and sale in Minnesota.
MDA determined earlier this week
that Dow AgroSciences had not
complied with state regulations
requiring companies to obtain a
commercial use exemption
allowing the sale of genetically
modified (GMO) seed in the
state. Dow AgroSciences
subsequently submitted the
request for a commercial use
exemption to sell DAS-59122-7.
MDA reviewed this material and
today approved the request,
meaning the product is now
approved for sale in the state.
Farmers who have questions about
the affected products should
contact their local seed dealer
for more information.
