You can use Dual at planting on your corn as well. It will help the most with grass but will also give you some added control over a few different broadleaf species as well. Atrazine is another good cheap option for pre plant or over the top. 32 oz at planting will give you some good residual broadleaf protection. Round up alone over the top of corn isn’t goin to get the job done on some of your broadleaf’s. Things like pigweed will simply power right through. 5-6 oz of dicamba mixed with roundup when the corn is 8-10 in high will mop up the weed escapes you might have. Be careful with dicamba in a field close to sunflowers. Wait until the wind is blowing away from the sunflowers at 3-8 mph then spray the corn. Dicamba drift is real and will hammer those sunflowers if you don’t watch the wind. Don’t spray first thing in the morning or right before dark either. That’s when the air inverts and that chemical will suspend and drift all over the place.Would like to note I'm FAR from an expert. 90% of what I've done in this, my fourth year ever doing a field, I've learned from people on here. So please don't hesitate to critique, offer suggestions, teach me things. I'm all ears. It won't offend me.
The addition of the Dual magnum this year was something I was taught her last year as I battled weeds. I'm very open to any and all learning opportunities.

As long as you dont wait, it would be fine to tank mix them. Be aware that roundup and atrazine needs good agitation to mix together.I've got some atrazine. Can I tank mix it with the round up when I spray the 10-12 inch corn?
Dicamba sounds like it may be too risky for me!

What brand of atrazine and glyphosate?Would a bouncy bumpy ride sloshing the tank back and forth on the way down the side of a large ridge from the water supply to the field in question work? Or should I take a boat paddle to it?
Not if he's using ams with a surfactantMight consider splitting up that atrazine application up. 1 quart at planting and then 1 quart over the top. I personally only put 1 quart at planting and that’s it. Also what kind of surfactant are you using? 3 pints in 25 gallons of solution. That’s WAY more than needed and you’re basically just wasting it. 8 oz of any NIS per 25 gallons is adequate.

And the crop looks good! Had any rain your way?
