Description

Weed management in tree nurseries should consist of cultural/preventative measures and should be supplemented by the effective use of appropriate herbicides. Since weeds reduce the growth and quality of nursery plants by competing for nutrients, water and light, nursery growers must plan an effective weed control program. This fact sheet will review preventative measures and list registered herbicides for planning a weed control program in tree nurseries. Information about herbicide selectivity, soil versus foliar activity and steps for planning a weed control program with herbicides is also included.

Description

Weed control in potatoes is becoming more of a challenge with each passing year. Wherever possible, pests should be managed throughout an entire rotation, not just in the current growing season. If there is a problem in the current season, managing that pest in another crop in a following year, if at all possible, may be the best management practice. Certain weeds such as wild buckwheat, Canada thistle and perennial sow thistle are examples of such problem pests.
