Who doesn’t like a bargain? While some seem great, they aren’t always a true bargain when all factors are considered. One important factor for corn herbicides in particular is cost-per-day of residual control. A cheaper herbicide may not actually be a better value if it doesn’t deliver the same length of residual, or better, as a more expensive option. More importantly, residual control that doesn’t last the full length of the season often results in costly weed escapes that rob yield, build the weed seed bank and spread resistance. Issues that are “hidden” costs can make cheaper herbicide options more expensive in the long run.
