INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Refuge Requirements for MON 88017 Field Corn
Growers of MON 88017 field com must adhere to the following refuge requirements.
Growers must plant a structured refuge of at least 20% non-com rootworm protected corn. Refuge planting options include the following: adjacent blocks, perimeter strips or in-field strips. If blocks are implemented, they must be adjacent (e.g., across the road) to the MON 88017 field. If perimeter or in-field strips are implemented, the strips must be at least 4 consecutive rows wide.
The refuge and MON 88017 acres should be managed under comparable agronomic regimes.
If the refuge is planted in a field that is in a crop rotation system, then MON 88017 must also be planted in a field that is in a crop rotation system. If the refuge is planted on continuous com, then the MON 88017 field may be planted on either continuous com or in a field that is in a crop rotation system.
Growers have the option of applying conventional insecticides to the com refuge for control of com rootworm larvae and other soil pests. The com refuge can be treated with a nonBacillus thuringiensis (B.t) insecticide to control late season pests such as com borer or com rootworm adults. However, if growers opt to treat the refuge while adult com rootworms are present, then the MON 88017 acres must be treated in a like manner.
These refuge requirements do not apply to seed increase/propagation of inbred and hybrid seed corn up to a total of20,000 acres per county and up to a combined United States (U.S.) total of 250,000 acres per plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) active ingredient per registrant per year.
