IRM Requirements

The non-Bt corn refuge on each farm may be arranged in a number of recommended spatial configurations that incorporate a non-Bt corn refuge without lessening the effectiveness of the resistance management program, as shown below:

Insect Resistance Management Seperate Field Separate field: plant a separate non-Bt corn field within one-fourth to one-half mile of each Bt corn field, This option is not suitable for rootworm refuge.
Insect Resistance Management Block Block: plant non-Bt corn strips or blocks within the Bt field.
Insect Resistance Management Split Planter Split Planter: split the planter to alternate four or more rows (six is preferred) of non-Bt corn within the Bt corn.
Insect Resistance Management Pivot Corners Pivot Corners: plant non-Bt corn as pivot.
Insect Resistance Management Perimeter Perimeter: plant as field perimeters or end rows to non-Bt corn.
