Hybrids differ in their susceptibility to green snap so plant several different hybrids. Do not apply growth regulator herbicides to corn beyond the 3-leaf stage. Corn planted at least 2 inches deep is less prone to green snap. Plants with shallow or restricted root systems can have less tolerance to phenoxy herbicides. Investigate crop insurance programs that will give coverage for green snap.
Replant options are short at best.
With planting no longer an option, the biggest concern will be weed growth in the opened canopy, and harvest difficulties from weed interference and weed seed development will be major concerns. Mowing as weeds start to set seed may help avoid increasing the weed seedbank. Harvest aid herbicide treatments may be considered in some situations, but are too late to prevent seed set. The opened canopy also will remove soil protection, increasing the chance of significant erosion damage in mid- and late summer. If the field lies on particularly erodable soils, clean tillage should be avoided, if possible.
