Weed Control Plan for Corn Fields in Prairie du Chien
Wisconsin weed specialists advise post emergence spraying with 2 4 D when corn is four to eight inches tall, using the amine form at half a pound per acre and ester form at a quarter to a third pound if smart weeds are present. Combine cultivation with 2 4 D, delaying cultivation if Canada thistle is in the field. Grass control with three pounds of Dinitro per acre before three corn leaves. Atrazine at two pounds per acre when weeds are one to two inches high.

Fast Growing Corn Uses Most Nitrogen Mid Season
Midwest division of the National Plant Food Institute reports corn plants use about two thirds of their seasonal nitrogen in six weeks mid July to late August. An acre of corn may consume 85 pounds of nitrogen out of 140 to 150 pounds needed for a 100 bushel crop, making nitrogen side dressing important especially on soils rich in phosphate and potash. Early side dressing is favored to prevent yield and profit losses.
