The most logical choices for controlling volunteer corn in any kind of soybean are the post-grass herbicides, says Penn State Extension.

Researchers consistently found that Fusarium virguliforme on corn kernels at average harvest loss resulted in the most sudden death syndrome, says a University of Nebraska Extension Educator.

Conditions experienced in 2012 have combined to create almost a perfect storm in some fields for potentially high volunteer corn populations in 2013.

Emerged volunteer corn at this time of year is normally considered to be a good situation, since all the volunteer plants will winterkill, but if a killing frost does not occur soon, they could be an impediment to farmers who would like to sow wheat this fall.

Over the past couple weeks we have received calls about the concern over volunteer corn in next season's crops and what are some possible control options to consider.

Densities of volunteer corn in this year’s soybean crop — at least in Illinois — are perhaps as high as any time in recent memory.

Properly handling the residue at harvest is key to preparing for the next crop.
