I planting about a half acre of open pollinated corn this year for use at our show, (that's about all the seed I have). All local farmers use Round-up ready seed so I can't bum off them. Any ideas of over the counter products I could use?

Pre-emerge atrazine?? (Get one of your buddies with a license to get ya some)Or is there to many resistant weeds? Not labeled for your area? Old fashioned cultivation?..

First, what will be grown in the same spot next year? You don’t want a herbicide that has ‘carry over’.
Maybe visit a ‘garden center’? There surely will be products there, that should meet your needs. And plan on some mechanical cultivation during the growing season. |

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

If you are planting conventional, plow, disc etc, then plant. then broadcast a fertilizer with pre-emergent impregnated. then come back with a broadleaf spray to get any morning glories or bindweed, etc that may pop up. I know that in the lawn care industry, there are chemicals that can take out weeds, as they appear, but don't know if they are labelled for use on corn...

For a half acre, if you can mechanically remove weeds until the corn is up, you could use Preen. It would have to be broadcast, since it is granular, not liquid.
No carryover, easily available and pretty safe and effective.

Atrizine ? Is it still available ? I used some 35 years ago, farmer friend said it'll kill everything but corn. Gravel driveway was weed free for 6 years !

Atrazine is still available but i don't know what the smallest unit you can buy. Going to be expensive for a 1 /2 acre

Atrazine is available, but unless something has changed in the last few years, it is a restricted use herbicide. You have to be a certified (licensed) applicator to buy it. It also carries over, so you will be limited to what you can grow next year.
Atrazine was a great stand-alone herbicide in the 70's, but a lot of weeds have become atrazine resistant.

We used Atrazine years ago and when I googled it, Maverick came up as a replacement, but here again, need a license and I’m not planting 500 acres anymore. Found a 40+ year old quart can of Treflan from the farm, Dad bought it due to wild cane problem one year, it was expensive as I recall.
I’ve got the cultivator ready to go on one CA. Was pondering the 2,4,D thing and wondering about using a crabgrass preemergent. The sod I turned over hadn’t been touched since before 1976, made that fresh overhaul on the other CA bark pulling the 2-14. Edited by JW in MO - 10 Mar 2024 at 9:09pm |

We used to garden plant sweet corn decades ago, we spaced the rows far enough apart so we could use a walk-behind rotor tiller between the rows. Planted the rows north/south direction.
