There are 2 Group 27 active-ingredient groups rated good or excellent for horse weed (marestail) in field corn, with products labeled for field corn.
Group 27 mode of action (MOA) options

Every listed product is labeled for field corn. Ratings are shown when each weed guide that rates this weed stays at good or excellent for the active-ingredient group. If a guide gives a range, the weaker end of the range has to be good or excellent.
Based on 1 weed guide, 2 active-ingredient groups are rated good or excellent for horse weed (marestail) in field corn.
