Explanation:
Not sure what this has to do with herbicides, but the phrase means the ears of the crop are getting moldy. See the first link for the sample Swedish usage. Second link is English examples for the phrase. The English example is from one of the items found at the link.

Example sentence(s):
  • Både korn och vete har börjat gro i axen. Många kan inte köra ut på grund av att inte fälten bär. Nu behövs mycket torrt väder för att kunna rädda det som är kvar.
  • Many growers who dry on-farm will be able to use a combination of a crop dryer and aeration to reach safe storage moisture levels. This process will help in the management of ear molds since harvesting and drying is critical for safe storage.
