the climbing milkweed. Apply the treatment when the weeds are spreading on the groun 

 and before they start to climp up the corn. 



To obtain optimum coverage, use herbicides with a surfactant, enough water volume, 

 and a suitable nozzle set-up. Use 2,4-D at 1/2 pound per acre (1 pint of 4-pound-per 

 gallon product). The date of application will depend on plant development, but is 

 usually in late June or early July.
