Pre-emergence Sprays Help Control Grasses in Corn

Town State College plant pathologists D. W. Staniforth and A. L. Bakke report that applying ester-type 2,4-D to soil shortly after corn planting slows germination and early growth of grasses. Two rates, 1 and 2 pounds per acre, reduce weed competition, delay cultivation, and can yield as much or more than weeded, early cultivations. Heavier rate better at suppressing grasses, but excessive rain can damage roots at 2 pounds per acre on sandy soils. other soils show no root damage. Delayed cultivation after treatment often maintains yields similar to weed-free plots.
