Weed management should be a priority, even at this time of the year. Syngenta Agronomy Service Representative Blake Miller sees this as a time to ask questions. “What were those fields like the last time they were in corn? What did they look like last year? If you’re rotating in a corn-soybean rotation, what was weed pressure like?” Weed pressure and the type of herbicide program used can impact revenue. “There’s a Southern Illinois University study that effectively for every inch of weed growth you let compete with your corn, you’re losing 4.6 bushels to the acre.”
