    Default Broadleaf control in tassling corn?

    What can I safely apply right now?
    Coffee-weed, Sesbania, morning glory, and some pigweed.
    Maybe 10% of the crop has started to tassel and most weeds are under 12", actually most are under 6"....
    I will be applying with boomless sprayer.

    Why are you just now tasseling?
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Regarding 2,4D....haven't read the label yet, but the kernel is kinda sensitive to some products during tasseling.

    At this point I think I would give it a couple weeks and hit it with roundup. As long as you catch it before it make seed you should be fine. Except for the pigweed. You should probably pull that by hand. The sicklepod is my nemesis. It’s taken five years of spraying and planting at my place to knock it back and I still have a good crop. If I put a disc in the ground between April and July, it pops up like a ground cover. We sprayed some 2-4d over some that came up in sorghum and it had an interesting effect. Instead of yellowing, the tops of the plants are turning down. I’m hoping they don’t pop right back up after they shake it off.

    Tassel stage is no-mans lands. If you’re pre-tassel, 2-4,D or Liberty (LL corn). If I were you, fill the kernels and find some Sterling Blue.

    If you're gonna wait like Kirk said, mix roundup and 24d. 24d hurts pigwood and sicklepod pretty good.

    I typically don't have to do this treatment this early as it's most often a post silk treatment.
    My corn I planted for the past four years in 8 rows, skip 3-4, 8 rows, skip just for this boomless application.
    These heavy rains in the past 3 weeks have brought on the evil!
