"Miller emphasizes that effective weed control isn't about spending less, but about spending smart, using the right products, rates, and timing to protect yield potential."
"Cutting herbicide rates is not the place to save; lower rates can reduce efficacy and increase the risk of resistance, especially as weed pressure and diversity continue to grow."
"Applications made during a warming trend, with a few days of favourable weather following, will typically outperform those made ahead of cool, wet conditions."
"Miller advises treating annual ryegrass more like a perennial than an annual, noting that control becomes especially difficult at the jointing stage."
Growers must manage weeds in corn effectively, especially with tight margins. Timing, product choice, and field understanding are crucial for maximizing returns. Skipping fall weed control has led to tougher spring weeds. Cutting herbicide rates can reduce efficacy and increase resistance risk. Applications should be made during warming trends for better results. Annual ryegrass poses a significant challenge, particularly with glyphosate-resistant populations. Early intervention and using multiple modes of action are essential for effective control.
