Abstract
Field corn was planted no-till on 7 May at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Experiment Station, Painter, VA. Treatments were applied pre-planting in the manner indicated in the table. Each plot consisted of four 25 ft rows bordered on each side by an untreated guard row. Plant spacing was 30 inches between rows with 9-10 inches between plants. Stand counts averaged 36 plants per 25 ft row on 28 May. The number of damaged whorls was counted in the 2 center rows (50 ft total) of each plot on 4 Jun and the number of damaged (stunted or twisted) stalks was counted in the 2 center rows (50 ft total) of each plot on 23 Jun.
