- Late-Season Roundup®. There is the risk of potential crop injury from off-label, late-season Roundup® brand agricultural herbicide applications. Drop nozzles should be used when Roundup is applied to corn 30 to 48 inches tall. Roundup is not labeled for corn beyond 48 inches in height due to the potential of poor kernel set. Always read and follow pesticide label directions.
