Just got an interesting phone call from an established crop consultant. He asked me about the use rate for Sonalan (ethalfluralin) in field corn. I replied to him that as far as I know, after working in field corn since 1987, that Sonalan was never or is not now labeled for field corn and I that I would never recommend it, especially PPI or PRE. Remember, Sonalan is a grass herbicide for use in broadleaf crops. I then asked him where he got his information. His reply was that I "Googled" it. If you Google Sonalan and field corn, here is what shows up:
This is not the first time I have seen an error with a Google/AI search. Bottom line, growers/consultants/county agents should not be getting weed control recommendations from Google/AI.
