Abstract
A method to protect corn against feeding damage by one or more pests includes the treatment of corn seed having a transgenic event that is targeted against at least one of the pests with a pesticide in an amount that is effective against the same or another of the one or more pests. Seeds having such protection are also disclosed, as well as a means for deploying a non-transgenic refuge crop into a field of transgenic crops.
Claims43
A method for deploying a non-transgenic refuge crop into a field of transgenic pest resistant crops comprising the steps of
- a) blending transgenic pest resistant crop seeds with non-transgenic refuge crop seeds;
- b) ensuring a uniform mixture of transgenic and non-transgenic crop seeds is provided;
- and
- c) planting said mix in said field;
- wherein said mixture consists of from about 100% to about 50% transgenic pest resistant crop seed.
A method for deploying a non-transgenic refuge crop into a field of transgenic pest resistant crops comprising providing a uniform mixture of transgenic pest resistant crop seeds together with non-transgenic refuge crop seeds for planting in said field, wherein said mixture consists of from about 1 to about 20% said non-transgenic refuge crop seeds.
A method for deploying a said non-transgenic refuge crop into a field of transgenic pest resistant crops comprising providing a mixture of transgenic pest resistant crop seeds together with non-transgenic refuge crop seeds for planting in said field, wherein said mixture consists of from about 1 to about 20% said non-transgenic refuge crop seeds.
A method for deploying a non-transgenic refuge crop into a field of transgenic pest resistant crops comprising providing a uniform mixture of transgenic pest resistant crop seeds together with non-transgenic refuge crop seeds for planting in said field, wherein said mixture consists of from about 100% to about 50% said transgenic pest resistant crop seeds.
A method for deploying a non-transgenic refuge crop into a field of transgenic pest resistant crops comprising providing a mixture of transgenic pest resistant crop seeds together with non-transgenic refuge crop seeds for planting in said field, wherein said mixture consists of from about 100% to about 50% said transgenic pest resistant crop seeds.
