Importance of the Refuge Plantings The paths to the 22/23 harvest Insect pests, without a doubt, are one of the biggest problems faced by crops, as they are responsible, when present, for the drop in productivity in the fields. Their proliferation can raise contamination rates, depending on the cycle. In this context, the recommendation arises to insert a planting area, known as Refuge Planting, which can prevent the evolution and a future generation of resistant insects, in addition to reducing the costs of producers with insecticides. However, it is important to point out that Refuge Planting is only applied in crops with Bt technology cultivars.
