I have used Harness Xtra or Degree Xtra with atrizine at full rate plus a bit. If you need a second application you can use Callisto with a touch of atrizine, crop oil, and liquid nitrogen. The callisto mixture should really be applied with a hand sprayer since it may burn the corn a bit but it will ZAP just about any weed.
It seems to hold it until canopy unless you get a washing rain that washes the chemical away. Pre-emergent chemicals are most effective on tilled soil.
I apply mine after planing before any weeds emerge. There will likley be no need for any other application unless that huge washing rain gets you.
I think the real key is to go ahead and chop the stalks, disk them in and replant a cover crop such as RR beans when the corn is done. If you can keep those weeds from going to seed it makes it a bit easier every year.
