For all of us involved in production agriculture and specifically corn production, we understand how valuable biotechnology has become as a crop management tool. How far we have come is truly remarkable.
The Insect Resistance Management Learning Center (IRMLC) is a web-based tool developed by the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) with the support of ABSTC, the coalition of the four leading agriculture biotechnology companies, to address the need for standardized, comprehensive training on the principles of Insect Resistance Management (IRM).
The IRMLC allows corn growers to access training on several topics, including IRM, Compliance Assurance Program (CAP), Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Corn Borer, and Corn Rootworm. Within each section, users of the IRMLC must complete a series of questions to demonstrate their knowledge. Upon satisfactory completion, the user can print out a certificate of completion.
