HORMONAL HERBICIDE INJURY
Every year some farmer somewhere will experience hormonal herbicide injury like that shown in these photos.
Hormonal herbicide injury is a function of rate, application timing ( crop size ) and weather both at and following the timing of application.
The knarling of a crops brace roots like that shown can lead to lodged corn if and when severe windstorms strike throughout the growing season.
I recognize that growth regulator herbicides can play an important role in providing growers residual herbicide activity BUT they certainly have to be used with a degree of caution.
