I used to use Banvel and 2-4D at about that height-2"-4" or 6 leaf. Any taller than that and the corn will flop over and lay on the ground for a few days. When it picks itself back up it might goose neck a little. I found out the hard way. We haven't done that for 25 years now that we have pre-plant herbicides. 40 years ago we would wait till the corn was in the 24" range and spray with 6 oz. 2-4D using drops to keep the spray out of the whorl of the plant. The corn was brittle for a week afterward and could snap off in a high wind. I did have a few plants pop off in a high wind once but I never saw the nightmare fields farmers talked about where the whole field snapped off. Before dad started spraying he made my sis and I walk the corn to pull weeds. We walked every acre of that hot steamy jungle in July and August. So those are your choices for broadleaf control. Jim
