Crop injury can occur from pre- or post-emergence corn herbicide application. It usually occurs due to poor application timing, improper application rate, carryover from the previous year’s application or leftover residual in the spray tanks, lines and filters. Fortunately, yield loss, in most cases, is minimal. Be aware of herbicide injury symptoms and ways to prevent them.

By properly identifying the various developmental stages in early season corn growth, producers can make well-informed decisions on replanting, applying herbicides, managing insects and more. Make sure to understand what to look for and how to differentiate the stages.

If your central Corn Belt fields have been damaged by heavy rain, hail, pests or poor emergence, you may consider replanting.

Early season seedling damage can significantly reduce yield. Scout cornfields regularly and diagnose problems before economic losses occur.

Flooding affects fields differently based on a variety of factors. Manage flooded corn to minimize damage and ensure optimum plant health and yields.

When corn planting is delayed due to inclement weather and poor field conditions, you can still take advantage of the compressed growing season and achieve reasonable yield results by adjusting your hybrid selection and managing cropping activities with later planting dates.
