Extension offers corn weed guide, American Agriculturist reports
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension has a new guide for conventional and organic field corn growers on how to control weeds, American Agriculturist reports. The publication offers guidelines for both chemical and nonchemical methods of weed management. “New England Guide to Weed Control in Field Corn” was developed by John Jemison, a professor of soil and water quality with the UMaine Extension, and Prasanta Bhowmik of the University of Massachusetts. “Pesticide information changes constantly, and we took this on in response to requests from agencies and the public,” said Jemison. The guide can be purchased for $3 by calling 800.287.0274, or downloaded free from the website.
