Scientific Opinion updating the evaluation of the environmental risk assessment and risk management recommendations on insect resistant genetically modified maize 1507 for cultivation

Abstract In this Scientific Opinion, the EFSA GMO Panel supplements its previous evaluations of the potential impact of maize 1507 cultivation on a range of non‐target lepidopteran species using existing data on species susceptibility and considering various scenarios of exposure which may occur acr...
