In this edition, growers in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan share their results controlling tough weeds with Acuron® corn herbicide in 2016. This is the final post in a series on Acuron and Acuron Flexi, which also covered:

• Kansas and Nebraska
• Wisconsin and Northern Illinois
• Southern Illinois and Missouri
• Iowa and Minnesota

Here’s a recap of growers’ experiences in the eastern Corn Belt:

July 25, 2016:

Urbana, Ohio: Paul McGuire’s field had a history of giant ragweed and pigweed pressure prior to treatment. Acuron applied pre-emerge at 2.5 qt/A with 1 qt/A atrazine on April 28, 2016. Photo taken 88 days after treatment. Although the field did not have Palmer amaranth, Paul reported that its presence in the area contributed to his decision to use Acuron.
