What stage should round up ready corn be to spray for weeds?

Why are genes being taken out of bacteria and placed into the corn?
It probably depends on the application. In the instance of Round-up Ready corn, the genes from the bacteria allow the corn to resist Round-up (Glyphosate). Since glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide (viz. an herbicide that controls virtually all plants), this change allows fields of corn to be maintained with fewer weeds while using less herbicide. Of course, the ethics and potential disadvantages are debated by many.
Does round up ready corn have thicker skin around the kernal?
