Please contact your sales professional or consult with your local resistance management guidelines, best management your area. not be following the IRM refuge requirements, please contact your sales professional or call toll free at proximity of hybrids with the Bt the refuge. A refuge is a block or strip of corn that does not contain a Bt trait for controlling corn pests. The purpose of this refuge is to Bt Bt Bt There are two s of refuge for products with the Bt integrated and structured. Some Bt products have an integrated refuge with refuge seed blended in the bag, while other Bt products require a structured refuge. A structured refuge product that does not contain the insect-control traits of the Bt product. Grower-blended seed mixtures are not approved for use with any Bt Refuge requirements vary by product and EPA-designated We require all growers purchasing hybrids with a Bt trait sign a Technology Use Agreement. By signing, the grower agrees to the Product Use Guide. Failure to follow these IRM requirements can result in the grower losing access to structured refuge products. The EPA requires Bt corn seed providers to conduct on-farm visits as part of a comprehensive Compliance Assurance requirements. These on-farm assessments are conducted by an independent third party and directed toward areas at high risk of insect resistance based on pest pressure, Bt corn market The CAP also outlines consistent standards developed by the EPA and Bt corn registrants for responding to growers who have not followed the IRM requirements to bring them into full compliance assistance visit with the grower prior a proper IRM program. compliance assessment visit with the grower the following growing season to assess IRM compliance. A grower found with a second incident of non-compliance with access the next year to the registrant s structured refuge Bt corn products. In growing areas, the structured refuge requirements are 5% or 20% of corn acres planted for corn borer-protected products and 20% for corn rootworm-protected products. In growing areas, the structured refuge requirements are 20% or 50% of corn acres planted for corn borer-protected products and 20% for corn rootworm-protected products. A is one that can be used for corn rootworms or corn borers, but not both. A that serves as a refuge for both corn borers and corn rootworms simultaneously. A is a refuge designed i.e., a stacked Bt product can require two separate refuges. Bt hybrid. This helps ensure that the refuge hybrid has the same Bt hybrid should match the Bt hybrid in maturity, early and plant.
