Currants and Gooseberries: Introduction

Introduction

• Cultural Weed Control - see notes on Cultural Weed Control in Berry Crops, page 249. There are no herbicides registered for preemergence weed control in currants and gooseberries. A biodegradable mulch could be used for weed control in the planting strip. A straw mulch will assist in weed control.
• Recommended rates per hectare or per acre refer to area actually treated with herbicide.
• Site Preparation Before Planting - see Chapter 6, Preplant Weed Control, page 81
