A quick note from Dr. Kemerait<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the weather over the next few days, the La Nina winter (warm and direr) has certainly set the stage for increased problems with nematodes in our corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybeans, at least on the Coastal Plain.\u00a0 Growers need to anticipate this and recognize that variety selection, crop rotation, and use of nematicides at the beginning of the season are their only tools for what can make for a very long cropping season.
With cost of fertilizer and diesel and everything else, growers may hesitate to put a nematicide under their field corn.\u00a0 This could be a tactical error.\u00a0 Our field corn is attacked by root-knot, sting, and stubby-root nematodes in Georgia and we do not have resistant varieties to manage them with.\u00a0 Growers CAN use Counter 20G (5-6 lb\/A and DO NOT use ALS herbicides with Counter), Propulse (8 fl oz\/A) and Velum (3.0 fl oz\/A).\u00a0 DO not mix a starter fertilizer with Velum or Propulse.\u00a0 Growers can also use Telone II (3 gal\/A) if they wanted to.\u00a0 From my research, protecting corn against nematodes with these nematicides increases yields from not treating by 10 to 60 bu\/A, depending on type of nematode and choice of nematicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Why is it a bad idea to apply certain herbicides, particularly ALS herbicides and some HPPD herbicides, following an in-furrow (INFR) application of Counter in field corn?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the insecticide and the herbicide are metabolized (i.e. broken down into non-lethal compounds) by the mixed function oxidase enzyme (MFO) system.  Simply put then, the use of both products overloads the field corn plant’s ability to metabolize the chemicals.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) What does corn injury from this negative interaction look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) How much can corn yields be reduced?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Where can I get more info about herbicides that can or cannot be used following an INFR application of Counter?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Check out the the following information from AMVAC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
