Maize is not very competitive in its early growth stage and will lose out to weeds as it emerges and develops.
Weeds also compete for water and nutrients and will have a negative impact on both quality and yield of this important crop as it goes through its maturity stages.
Climate change means we can see weather patterns with prolonged periods of no rain. It’s crucial that weeds are managed during these periods.
Today’s maize herbicide programmes not only need to consider weed pressure within the crop, but also what is happening post-harvest. For example, the Sustainable Farming Incentive introduces SOH4: payments for a winter cover that follows maize.
At Corteva, we have a range of weed management solutions for maize growers as well as biostimulants to maximise yield. Read the full update to find out more
