Corn Planting Question

I have a question concerning corn. I had some problems with the concave on my combine last fall and left a lot of kernels in the field. I am going to follow it with corn again this year, I am going to have volunteer corn growing everywhere. It is roundup ready corn. My question is how do I prevent the corn from invading the field and creating a mass of growing corn? I was going to plow the field (10acres) but I know that wont get it all. Any chemicals I can spray? I do have my applicators license so I can get any herbcide on the market. Let me know what you think, I sure appreciate your help!
 
You can let the corn germinate and start growing, then spray with a spray designed for RR corn. It will just delay the planting of this years corn crop. Plowing will bury the seed deep enough to where it shouldn't grow.
 
Just go ahead and plant your crop,I assume your going to plant soybeans. once the beans are growing and neen to be sprayed use roundup,then hit the corn thats coming up with 3/4 rate of post plus it will do a good job on the corn. Bob
 
I think corn on corn is his plan so thats why I suggested LL corn. Glyphosate won't kill volunteer rr corn or even cross pollinated conv. corn.
 
As was already mentioned, plowing will get most of it. In this area the herbicide, Select, is typically added to RU on the second pass to get corn. Monsanto did help pay for it in the past, don't know if they do today.
 
Had to replant some RR notil corn last year so though I would use Ignite to kill the existing corn. It looked as though it was going to die, but about the time the replant corn came up the "killed" corn came back to life. I ended up with some parts of the field with a 50000 stand, then the rain stopped. It didn't make a very good crop. Just my experience. Joe
