Strawberries: Introduction

Introduction

• Cultural Weed Control - See notes on Cultural Weed Control in Berry Crops, page 249.
• Use straw mulch that is free of weed seeds to avoid importing weeds into the field. The mulch should be spread between the rows when it is pulled off the plants in the spring to provide additional weed control.
• Recommended rates per hectare or per acre refer to area actually treated with herbicide.
• CAUTION: DEVRINOL and SINBAR residues, high enough to harm many crops, may persist for several years after removal of a planting.
• Site Preparation Before Planting - see Chapter 6, Preplant Weed Control, page 81.
