When it comes to resistance management, Poncho 1250 is the smart choice to protect all refuge acres. If you select a hybrid with built in rootworm protection, then make sure you use Poncho 1250 seed treatment on your refuge acres.

If your corn crop is growing in an area of high insect pressure, you need Poncho 1250!

Testimonials

I think Poncho 1250 is the best tool for non-rootworm event hybrids. I encourage clients to consider economics and past insect pressure. If you are growing corn on corn and only want herbicide resistance and not the extra genes for rootworm and corn borer, then ordering all your seed with Poncho 1250 will provide the rootworm control you need. This makes a lot of sense, especially if you are growing corn silage. And there will always be a market for non-GMO corn, and Poncho 1250 is an effective choice for protecting conventional corn.

We encourage growers to stick to the integrated pest management (IPM) approach when considering the use of Poncho 1250, and consider the insect risk first. If you have low to moderate corn rootworm risk, Poncho 1250 is a viable control strategy on corn borer and non-corn borer protected refuge acres. If the rootworm risk is heavy – from heavy clay soil or growing corn on corn – plant a corn rootworm event hybrid and consider Poncho 1250 on refuge acres for rootworm control.
