Sweet Corn - Agricultural Poisons (Pest Control, Seed Treatment)

Sweet Corn - this is the first site I found which provides an extensive

description of current agricultural recommendations for corn. And it is

enough to make one's hair stand on end.

 

As these agricultural recommendations show,

corn is heavily and often treated - frequently at 5 day intervals -

with a wide range of agricultural poisons.

 

As the presence of DDT, and four other major agricultural poisons in the

blood of every living thing - as well as in every mother's milk - so

amply demonstrates,

every chemical we put in or on the earth eventually ends up in us.

 

 

Disease Control - Damping off

Buy commercial fungicide-treated seed, if available. If not, dust or

pellet seed according to label instructions with Captan or Apron 25 W.

 

Leaf blight - Northern corn blight, Southern corn blight

Application of fungicides is seldom economically feasible. If necessary,

spray at weekly intervals with one of the following:

Dithane F45 (4F) 2.4 pt/A (7 days-PHI

Maneb + Zn (4 F) 2.4-4.8 pts/A (0 days-PHI)

Maneb (75DF) 1.5 lb/A (7 days-PHI)

Bravo 720 (6 F) 0.75-2.0 pt/A (14 days-PHI)

Bravo 500 (4.17 F) 1.1-2.75 pt/A (14 days-PHI)

Penncozeb (75DF) 1.0-1.5 lb/A (7 days-PHI)

Use Bravo and Terranil for fresh market only (see label directions)

Before applying Maneb (or other EBDC fungicides) check with potential

buyers to ascertain if crops treated with this fungicide will be

commercially acceptable.

 

Smut - No fungicides are available for control.

Late varieties are reported to be more tolerant than early varieties.

 

Stewart's Wilt - Stewart's wilt is a bacterial disease that usually

arises following mild winters. It is spread by corn flea beetles.

Control flea beetles early with a recommended insecticide to control

seedling wilt. Use resistant cultivars where available.

 

Viruses - Sweet corn in Ohio may be affected by maize dwarf mosaic virus

(MDMV), which is vectored by aphids, and maize chlorotic dwarf virus

(MCDV), which is vectored by leafhoppers. These viruses are usually a

problem in southern Ohio or on late planted sweet corn in northern Ohio.

Both viruses are harbored in Johnsongrass.

 

Control of either of the vectors with insecticides does not prevent

these diseases, but control of Johnsongrass in southern areas will help

control these diseases. Although all varieties are susceptible, some are

reported to have tolerance. Sweet corn varieties with high quality and

good tolerance are under development. Consult seed catalogs for current

information.

 

Rust - If rust develops on early plantings, fungicide applications

should be considered for later plantings. Spray at 7-day intervals with

one of the following:

 

Dithane F45 (4F) 2.4 pt/A (7 days-PHI)

Bravo 720 (6F) 0.75-2.0 pt/A (14 days-PHI)

Bravo 500 (4.17 F) 1.1-2.75 pt/A (14 days-PHI)

Tilt 4 fl oz/A, 7-14 day schedule (14 days-PHI)

 

Before applying Dithane (or other EBDC fungicides) check with potential

buyers to ascertain if crops treated with this fungicide will be

commercially acceptable.

 

Insect Control - See the tables on page 197 for overview of insecticides

used to control sweet corn pests.

corn next year. Consult the label for precautionary statements to avoid

ground and surface water contamination. Observe the following guidelines

for use on highly erodible land. Apply before sweet corn reaches 12

inches in height, and before weeds reach 1.5 inches in height. Tank-mix

with an emulsifiable oil or oil concentrate.

 

Highly erodible land with less than 30% residue cover:

 

AAtrex 4L, Drexel Atrazine 4L, Helena Atrazine 4L, Riverside Atrazine

4L, Wilbur-Ellis Atrazine 4 L: 3.2 pt/A. Drexel Atra-5: 2.4 pt/A. Aatrex

Nine-0, Accu-Pak (WDG), Drexel Atrazine 90DF, Riverside Atrazine 90 DF:

1.8 lb/A.

 

Not highly erodible land or at least 30% residue cover:

 

AAtrex 4L, Drexel Atrazine 4L, Helena Atrazine 4L, Riverside Atrazine

4L, Wilbur-Ellis Atrazine 4 L: 4 pt/A. Drexel Atra-5: 3.2 pt/A. Aatrex

Nine-0, Accu-Pak (WDG), Drexel Atrazine 90DF, Riverside Atrazine 90 DF:

2.2 lb/A.

 

Bentazon - controls annual broadleaf weeds and suppresses yellow

nutsedge, Canada thistle, and field bindweed.

Basagran: 1.5-2 pt/A.

For nutsedge control use two applications approximately 2 weeks apart.

Time of application depends on weed height and leaf-stage. Controls

triazine resistant biotypes of lamb's quarters and pigweed. Can be

tank-mixed with atrazine and a pre-formulated mix with atrazine (Laddox

S-12) is also available.

 

Dimethenamid - controls annual grasses, yellow nutsedge, and certain

annual broadleaf weeds.

Frontier 6.0: 1-2 pt/A.

Apply prior to weed emergence and on corn no more than 7 inches tall.

Rate selection within the indicated range depends upon cation exchange

capacity or soil texture and % organic matter. Check the label for

specific directions. Before application verify with your local seed

company or supplier the selectivity of Frontier 6.0 on your specific

varieties so as to avoid potential crop injury to sensitive varieties.

Do not apply if conditions of high rainfall, water saturated soil, or

cool weather occur between the period from germination to corn

emergence. Application during or prior to such conditions may result in

delayed emergence or leaf wrapping. Frontier 6.0 can be tank-mixed with

atrazine, cyanazine, Eradicane, or Basagran.
