What to do in case of frost damage in maize?
Thanks to the perfect weather conditions in April, a lot of maize went into the ground early. Unfortunately, the conditions have not been good in recent days: there is limited moisture available in many places and very strong (north) easterly winds cause drift damage. Night frosts were added several times during the Ice Saints.
In these circumstances it is advisable to check the field emergence and condition of your maize. Roughage specialist Ludwig Oevermans explains in a video what you should pay attention to, how to recognize frost damage and when additional or overseeding is useful.
As for weed control, maize has tremendous recovery capacity, but is now struggling. Wait with the weed control until the weather is growing. The maize has then recovered from the harsh conditions and has been further developed.
