pcp, you can spray halosulfuron on corn. Used to be "Permit", now it's "Profine" or "Sandea".
This will lead to a sedge(chufa) holocaust of sorts. Thanks! Can I just mix it with the gly when spraying the corn field? I gotta kill sicklepod, pigweed, bermudagrass, and just about everything else you can think of. It all grows in this field after 10 consecutive years of trying to grow chufas. Nice pics, gobbler! You inspire me to make more pics.

sure thing.
sounds like you'd be well served to add atrazine too.

I'm also gonna plant chufa on half the field this year. My plan was to grow the RR corn on half the field and keep the nutgrass cleaned out for this season, then grow chufa on it next year. On the other half of the field, I have already disced it and should have a good stand of a chufa/nutgrass mix by now. I was gonna spray it with gly this week, then plant in chufa next week and let the chufa fight it out with the nutgrass. Should I stick with gly only for this part? Turfgrass, you have really given me a lot of good advice over the years, and I know you think I am crazy for wanting to grow nutsedge. Thanks for helping a crazy guy!

I don't want it and can't kill it and you have to baby it to grow it. LOL I hate the stuff. I'll give you some MSMA/RR/Image resistant nuts if you'll come dig them out of my yard.

I don't care what the eggheads say; that stuff growing in your yard ain't the same plant that I grow for turkeys. A timber wolf ain't the same critter as a poodle either. And as far being Roundup resistant, I was gonna buy some RR seed corn before I found out that Wilburns would ship me some of the nwtf corn. The co-op told me I had to get a license from Monsanto before they could sell it to me, so I called them to get the info. The lady was nice and at the end of our conversation, she asked if there was anything else they could do for me. I told her yeah - develop a RR chufa. She laughed at me, but I got her to promise me that she would pass on the request to her supervisor. I could change the world with a RR chufa.

Sulfosulfuron (Outrider) works better that the Halosulfuron. With the latter, the Nutsedge must be sprayed at a very young stage to get a decent kill. With the Outrider (as in pasture and fields) it seems to give a better kill.
Another trick to controlling nutsedge (as you will never get rid of it) is to use a good surfactant/adjuvant.

My reply was in answer to the following by PCP: Sorry to hijack the thread, but maybe Turfgrass can help me with this one - one of the fields I planted this corn in is my best chufa field. It has a good mix of volunteer chufa, yellow nutsedge and purple nutsedge. I'm planning to keep hitting it with gly all summer and try to at least knock the nutsedges back so that I can grow chufa again for a couple of years. I've got no illusions of wiping it out; just knocking it back some. Anything I could mix with the gly that would help? I could wait until the corn is made to use it. Thanks for any ideas. The Outrider would get both the Johnsongrass AND nutsedge.

Thanks Shuter - does the Outrider have any soil activity?
I suspect both of these will be expensive and I probably won't buy but one of them, assuming I can find one.

Shuter, I switched from halo- to sulfo- a couple years back in turf apps. Main reason I switched was price.
I have noticed very little difference in performance. Certainly not enough to warrant keeping sedge in corn when there's a perfectly good selective option.
As far as johnsongrass goes, I never saw mention of it. Glyphosate still kills it dead where I am.

Ours turned out very well. Was really concerned in June but with all the rain we got in late June, early July our corn and sunflowers did great. Pics posted in "How long can corn go without rain" thread.

Mine have done fantastic. I should have a bumper corn crop. The silks are just starting to turn from yellow to tan. If I can get one more good rain it will be great. It will still make without a rain, but not as good.
My pea, sunflower and sicklepod plot looks great too. I think I have the best sicklepod crop in the southeast.

how do you know when the ears are done growing? Probably a dumb question but I would assume just cause you can see an ear on the stalk that it doesn't mean it's as big as it's going to get. Fur's post above got me thinking about that.

When the silks turn black and are dry, the corn on the ear is mature. They may still take up water at that point, but the kernels don't get any larger.
