You mean spray now, spray in early spring before you seed, or spray the corn with after it comes up?

Now: 24d or dicomba (Banvel, other brand names) is good at killing boradleaves. Works best sprayed on the plant; will help to keep some from sprouting a little bit.

Glysophate (Roundup, others are just as good & 1/2 price) is real good on grasses and perannual weeds (like Canadian thistle). If you got thistle & other nasty perannuals, use a lot & hit it twice, now & in the spring. Only works on green growing plants, no effect on seed in the ground.

There are some good anti-grass products you can put down before you plant in spring, lasts for several weeks to keep grasses from sprouting.

Or use roundup ready corn & spray 2x with that while the corn is growing, will do good.

Not sure what direction your question is coming from. :)

Roundup & 24D now would be a real, real good start. Do it again in spring after things green up, and should have things under control.
