• Yes. All corn rootworm hybrids require refuge acres as part of a resistance management strategy. Poncho 1250 is an effective way to provide control on refuge acres while adhering to refuge acre recommendations. Talk to your seed dealer about what percentage of your field must be planted as a refuge. Also, if planting in soils with high insect pressure, Poncho 1250 will protect your corn seed.
