Weeds will grow and flourish in just about any kind of soil, makes no difference if the soil is fertile or not. In fact, some weeds seem to prefer poor soil, and will do poorly if the soil is well fertilized. Corn, whether it is field corn, pop corn, or sweet corn, needs lots of nutrients, particularly nitrogen. You might try sidedressing the corn now, somehow or other make a furrow right next to the corn row and add fertilizer that is high in nitrogen. If the corn does well it will crowd out the weeds. Next year, broadcast dry fertilzer over the entire patch and incorporate it into the soil before you plant, and it is also a good idea to include a good soil insecticide at the same time.
