Abstract
Single pass herbicide programs have become the standard for most Wisconsin corn producers. The apparent time and cost savings in controlling weeds with a single pre or post-emergence herbicide application is the driving force behind this trend. While there are situations where a single pass program will work, it has weaknesses that can result in inconsistent performance.
