Finding the right weed control products and practices is critical to maximizing corn yield potential on your operation. Brad Burkhart, a Corteva Agriscience market development specialist covering Indiana, offers his weed control recommendations to push corn yield potential:
1. Start clean and stay clean.
Environmental conditions can sometimes make it difficult for all herbicide applications to be made at the optimal timing. Having a herbicide program that offers a grower flexibility if vital.
“If growers choose to bypass that preapplication and pull the planter instead, it is important to have a herbicide product that can be applied past that typical V2 or V3 cutoff,” Burkhart says. “That’s exactly where Resicore REV herbicide is a perfect fit —giving a farmer more flexibility and extended weed control — especially against resistant weeds. The bottom line is protecting that yield potential.”
Resicore® REV herbicide has three active ingredients and modes of action to offer control on 75 of the toughest broadleaf and grass weeds. It can be used as a pre- and postemergence herbicide on corn up to 24 inches tall and is compatible with atrazine, glyphosate and other key herbicides, as well as with nutrients like urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) and ammonium thiosulfate (ATS).
“Resicore REV herbicide can double a grower’s weed control application window option by up to 10 to 15 days,” Burkhart says. “It works well in any overall program approach to weed control. Plus, it’s now encapsulated for enhanced crop safety.”
Lesser crop response after any application means the corn plant can use energy to pack on yield rather than waste that energy trying to recover.
2. Never underestimate the value of using a program approach.
Using a program approach in weed control can help lead to higher readings on the yield monitor during harvest. An effective program approach should include multiple modes of action against diseases and weeds. It also can help preserve the products you rely on by staving off the development of resistance.
