Refuge Planting Recommendations

Any non-Bt corn acres planted on a grower's farm near Bt corn can serve as a refuge. Plant a refuge on every farm where B.t. Corn Borer hybrids are planted. Plant the refuge close to, and at the same time as, B.t. Corn Borer corn. Manage the refuge the same as B.t. Corn Borer corn is managed. Reducing inputs or putting the refuge on marginal land merely reduces the effectiveness of the refuge.
