I've got a field of corn that I thought I could get decent weed control with roundup alone. I did in fact get a decent burn down and things were looking good.
I put down 150 lbs of urea right after the total burn down, then it got dry. After it rained again, I saw some sprouts of foxtail starting up. When the corn got just high enough that I could get through it without damaging it, I put down another 100 lbs. of urea and it got dry again. When it finally rained again the corn took off and started looking great, unfortunately so did the foxtail. Now I'm looking at 7+ foot tall stalks, good and beefy and nice ears developing and starting to fill out.
The foxtail is now about 2 feet tall and I'll finally get to my question. It's in full head so how much more growth can I expect from this crap and potentially could it be done growing?
Thanx,
Ron

With giant foxtail, once it heads the plant growth phase is pretty much over.

Boy Ron to bad to couldn't get it spray'd . That foxtail is just like your corn sucking up your N . like Cougar said it's problably done growing any taller but it will stay green till a frost That could be a real bitch to shell . I think I'd try and find someone with a Miller or a Hagie with drops and blast it again .

An airplane guy told me on really big corn he could get down below the canopy better than a ground rig. He said it was from the turbulance or something. I would get it sprayed.

LMOA kwest ! I have not been on here or ag web much the last two weeks , haven't felt worth a damn , may have got alittle to hot a few weeks ago hauling corn ( sweeping out a bin ) then this week had to get the Hag ready to spray for a guy and again may have got alittle to hot , had the big fans on but was still ringing wet , came home at 2 in the afternoon and half sick . But the funny thing was I didn't fell bad enough that i couldn't drink a beer , go figure LOL .
And ses is 100 percent right really have not done that much ! Had about 4 thousand acres of fungicides to put on and everybody pull'd the plug , just to hot and dry .
And wcty , the last I heard they are still where he put them , he is in Gulf Shores this week , Hope he don't do what he did last year !! ( Bad case of Phinnis elbow )
Everybody have a good day , Ken

i just got off the phone with Ken. He sounded better but said his member is like overcooked pasta. Sorry ken hadda say it. he did get overheated working with the corn thats the money part He cashed those checks and then took the cash back to his back yard for safe dry investment. He puts his miony in that black indianna dirt and got over heated digging that giant hole to put his bags of money into. He will be hauling again this week, so we can expect a relapse???
have a good one Ken really enjoy talking to you.
