24D will take care of the weeds. Won't do anything for grass as corn is a kind of grass. Must be very careful when spraying. The lightest wind will carry to any near tomato or peppers, and kill them. Also try to get as little as possible on the corn plants, it wont kill them but they will look a little sick for a while.

I spray Surestart on sweet corn when it is smaller than 4 inches tall.  Kills broad leaf weeds but won't kill foxtail, pretty weak on most grasses.  

Corn is a grass so you are limited.  You could try Capreno, but it might turn your sweet corn white for a few days, it is a little more touchy.

I bought two big bags of it this year.....


Gave 90% of it away to customers.   It is crazy how expensive it is.  Traited field corn averages around $250 per bag.  If you could buy an 80k count bag of roundup ready sweet corn, it would cost around $900.
