2024 Wisconsin Corn Herbicide Survey Open

By Daniel Zhu and Rodrigo Werle

Daniel Zhu, a graduate student in the WiscWeeds Research & Extension program, is conducting a survey to document 2024 herbicide programs used in different Wisconsin corn production systems and could use your help!

  • WI corn growers – please describe the most common herbicide program you used in 2024 in the different WI corn production systems listed in the survey pertaining to your operation.
  • WI decision influencers (i.e., crop consultants, coop employees, industry representatives, etc.) – please describe the most common herbicide program your grower clients used in 2024 in the different WI corn production systems listed in the survey.

Survey Objective and Data Use

The objective of this survey is to document herbicide programs used in different Wisconsin corn production systems (e.g., tillage scenarios, atrazine prohibition areas, and silage vs grain). This survey is being conducted by Daniel Zhu, a graduate student in Dr. Rodrigo Werle’s WiscWeeds Lab. Results will be published as a part of Daniel’s MS thesis at UW-Madison.

Your participation is critical for informing our research decisions, assisting us with making better recommendations, and allowing us to better provide data for our stakeholders. Please fill out the survey and send it to fellow corn growers or consultants as well.

Please mail the survey addressed to Daniel Zhu at 1575 Linden Dr, Madison, WI 53706 or scan it and send it via email to dqzhu@wisc.edu. Thank you for your time and support!
