Introduction

  • Maintaining a healthy and vigorous crop will aid in weed control by avoiding openings in the bed for weed germination and establishment.
  • Prevent weeds from setting seed on dikes and in adjacent uncropped areas by using cultural or chemical weed control measures. Mowing at regular intervals will prevent many weeds from setting seed. Seeding the dikes with a desirable grass cover will reduce the opportunities for weed establishment and will provide bank stabilization.
  • Recommended rates /ha or /ac refer to area actually treated with herbicide.
  • Site Preparation Before Planting - see Chapter 6, Preplant Weed Control, page 81.
