Refuge Configuration Options

The refuge on each farm may be arranged in a number of configurations. These options offer the flexibility to easily incorporate an effective corn refuge into farm operations.

Options include:

  • Plant separate non-Bt cornfields within 1/4-1/2 mile of each Bt corn field.
  • Plant non-Bt corn strips or blocks within a Bt field.
  • Split the planter to alternate four or more rows (6 preferred) of non-Bt corn with Bt corn.
  • Plant field perimeters or end rows to non-Bt corn.
