Refuge should be established as follows:

On each farm, plant at least 20% of corn acres with non-B.t. corn. The non-B.t. corn can be treated with insecticides only when the level of pest pressure meets or exceeds economic thresholds. Sprayable B.t. insecticides must not be applied to the non-B.t. refuge corn.
Plant the refuge (non-B.t. corn) within, adjacent to, or near B.t. corn borer felds. The refuge must be placed within 1/2 mile of the B.t. corn borer feld (1/4 mile or closer preferred).
Can include the following corn options: CRW, RR, LL, or conventional corn, but no other B.t. product for corn borer management.

Growers should refer to Monsanto's Technology Use Guide for the most complete information on crop stewardship and refuge configuration options.

Growers should refer to the Herculex Product Use Guide for the most complete information on crop stewardship and refuge configuration options.

Refuge should be established as follows:

Plant a minimum of 20% non-CRW corn refuge.
Place refuge hybrid adjacent to or within CRW feld.
Adjacent refuge feld can be separated by a road, fence, narrow grass waterway or drainage ditch.

Refuge Management

Refuge hybrids and Corn Rootworm hybrids must be planted following the same previous crop.
Can treat refuge for larval CRW and/or other soil pests with soil-applied, seed-applied, or foliar-applied insecticides.
Can treat refuge for late season pests, e.g., corn borer, CRW adults – however the CRW feld must also be treated.
Can include the following refuge corn options: YGCB, HX, RR, LL and conventional corn, but no other B.t. product for CRW management.
