Failure to follow these recommendations could result in excessive crop injury.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dicamba is not needed for preplant in field corn. Dr. Prostko and I did some trial work a few years ago on preplant burndown options for field corn, and by far my favorite combo is Roundup or Gramoxone + atrazine. These combos will control most of our common winter weeds, and field corn can be planted immediately without concern for crop injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
