Early stages of peanut pod development

Question:

Have a few peanut fields bedded early that have a lot of volunteer roundup tolerant corn coming up. What’s the best herbicide and rate to kill corn?

Jordan:

Clethodim at 8 oz/acre would work on the corn but if you have other weeds like Palmer amaranth, I would apply at least 2 pints of paraquat.

The corn is likely glufosinate (Liberty) tolerant corn.
