Recommended Controls
All Weeds
The fruiting vegetables are warm-season crops nearly always
started as transplants. When growers transplant crops into
plastic mulch, they sometimes use herbicides underneath the
mulch. There are several herbicides labeled for the control of
weeds preemergence, applied before crops are transplanted,
or directed between the rows only after transplanting.
For specific weeds controlled by each herbicide, check the
Relative Effectiveness of Herbicides for Vegetable Crops
table.
Rates provided in the recommendations below are given for
overall coverage. For a banded treatment, reduce amounts
according to the portion of acre treated.
Non-Pesticide
Eggplant, Pepper, Tomato | A stale seedbed can be prepared
prior to transplanting with flame weeding or very shallow
cultivation to control emerged weeds, instead of herbicides.
These crops can benefit from the soil warming properties of
plastic mulch in addition to the in-row weed control it
provides. Materials include landscape cloth/fabric, plastic,
and biodegradeable plastic. Straw mulch can delay early
season growth by suppressing soil temperatures. Weeds
between beds and along the edges of beds can be controlled
with a combination of cultivation, mowing, or hand
hoeing/pulling. Weeds along the edge of the mulches can be a
particular challenge to avoid ripping the mulch. Some fresh
market plantings are often small enough to accommodate
hand-hoeing or pulling. For larger plantings it may make
more sense to mechanically cultivate with tow-able tools
between plastic rows or between bare-soil rows.
Pesticide
Aim EC (2) (carfentrazone) POST
Eggplant, Pepper,
Tomato | 0.5-2 fl. oz. per acre. Apply a minimum of 1 day
prior to transplanting, or apply between crop rows with
hooded sprayer. Do not allow spray to contact crop. Add 1 qt.
COC (1% v/v) or 0.5 pt. NIS per 25 gal. of spray solution
(0.25% v/v). Weeds must be actively growing and less than 4
inches tall. Do not exceed 6.1 fl. oz. per acre per season. REI:
12-hour. HRAC 14.
