If winter annual weeds like common chickweed, henbit, purple deadnettle, marestail/horseweed and others emerge with the small grain and are left unchecked, the potential yield hit can be great. Looking in the Penn State Agronomy Guide (Table 2.5-6), we see that Harmony Extra (different from Harmony SG) probably offers the broadest spectrum for broadleaf weed control, though no single product controls the full spect...
