Bt11 is one of the older Bt maize, first authorized for cultivation in 1996. Bt11 produces the Bt toxin Cry1Ab against lepidoptera such as European corn borer (ECB, Ostrinia nubilalis and Mediterranean stem borer (MCB, Sesamia nonagrioides). In addition, Bt11 is herbicide-tolerant against the glufosinate-ammonium (BASTA, Liberty). It is currently authorized as food/feed, and this authorisation is currently getting renewed.
