Corn over 12 inches tall still has herbicide options, but fewer than earlier growth stages, and some require special precautions. This article summarizes what is allowed, when to apply, and how to reduce crop injury. Get the table of labeled products and height limits here.
From bollworms to stinkbugs, late-season pests can still threaten Kansas cotton. Learn how to scout, when to treat (especially for Bt cotton), current treatment thresholds, and control options as the crop approaches bloom.
