What are the refuge requirements for YieldGard Bt corn?
Growers can plant no more than 50 percent of their corn acreage in Bt hybrids trademarked YieldGard which contain the MON-810 insertion event. Growers will be required to sign an agreement requiring them to plant non-Bt corn as a refuge within a half mile of the Bt corn. Neighbors' conventional corn does not count as refuge. The non-Bt refuge may be treated with insecticides (excluding sprayable Bt products) as needed. These refuge requirements for YieldGard Bt corn in Mississippi are the same as last year.
