Management of Herbicide-Resistant Corn Volunteers in Corn and Soybean

Volunteer corn refers to corn that grows from kernels or ears that were not harvested or were lost from the combine during the previous season. Often, not all of the corn kernels and ears get harvested during the season and may fall on to the ground due to mechanical harvest problems, insect damage, or natural events such as late-season windstorms. Despite advancements in mechanical harvesting, some level of harvest loss still occurs.
