Destroying a Poor Stand of Corn and Replanting Back to Corn

Author:  Comments Off on Destroying a Poor Stand of Corn and Replanting Back to Corn

There have been reports of some fields of corn that due to flooding have an insufficient stand to keep.  There are several options to control a thin corn stand and replant back to corn.  Some of these options, like Select Max, need a waiting period before it can be planted back to corn.  Others, like tankmixes of paraquat plus atrazine, corn may be replanted right away.  Please find attached the results of a study Angela McClure and I conducted several years ago on destroying freeze damaged corn and replanting back to corn. We repeated the study the next year on a good stand of corn and got the same results. In this publication you will find a number of different herbicide options  that did a good job controlling an unwanted stand of corn.
