Dr. George D. Scarseth argues weeds have benefits amid drawbacks for corn growth. Weeds steal nutrients and water and can shade roots, but they add organic matter, protect soil, and may aid pest control. He suggests balanced nutrition and starter fertilizers to start corn fast and reduce cultivation needs.

Early Use of Chemical Will Control Weeds
Farmers report early chemical application yields better weed control than waiting. 2 4-D is common, with two annual applications for Canadian thistles over several years. Apply 1 2 to 2 pounds per acre, using lower rates in crops. Ester 2 4-D works better on hard weeds but risks crop injury. New chemicals like MCP and a DNOSBP variant offer alternatives. A pamphlet No 181 on Chemical Weed Control is available from the county extension office.
