Controlled Roundup Spraying Between Corn Rows

Q: Can I use Roundup on weeds between 6‑ft‑tall corn rows?
A: Spray drift is the danger. Make a nozzle guard from a bottomless milk jug: tape the jug neck to your sprayer nozzle. Walk slowly, keeping the guard bottom close to weeds. This shields corn from fine mist droplets.
