Corn harvest is underway in Louisiana, and I have received questions about controlling morningglory that could decrease harvest efficiency. The best option for this situation is an application of Aim at 1 to 2 ounces/A, paraquat at 0.25 to 0.5 lb/A or 1 gallon/A of a 6 lb/gal sodium chlorate. Tank-mix crop oil concentrate at 1 % v/v with Aim or 0.25% v/v of nonionic surfactant with paraquat.
