VT Triple varieties require a minimum 20% refuge of conventional or RR corn without insect resistant traits. This can be accomplished by planting a block of non-VT corn within or nearby the VT field or by split planting two varieties. As an example, an 8 row planter can plant 6 rows of VT corn and two rows of non-VT corn, leaving a 25% refuge. All VT hybrids are treated with Optimax.
