  14. Watermelon Injury from Strategy Applied Topical 1 wk After Transplant

  15. Strategy • Apply prior to weed emergence • Apply to seeded crop prior to emergence, or apply as a banded spray between rows after crop emergence or transplanting.

  16. Strategy • Should be able to obtain same rate of ethalfluralin (Curbit). • Command should enhance activity of annual grasses (expect Texas panicum), sida, croton, lambsquarters. • Buffer restrictions are identical to Command applied alone • Be aware of carryover from clomazone

  17. New Vegetable Herbicides for 2003 Roundup WeatherMax Select Strategy Matrix Command Sandea

  18. Matrix Herbicide • Active is rimsulfuron, DuPont product • Apply in field grown tomato • Apply 1 to 2 oz of product after at least two leaves • Add nonionic surfactant

  19. Tomato Response to Matrix applied PRE and POST. TyTy, 2002. % injury

  20. Matrix Weed Control • Specific use herbicide: Annual bluegrass Large crabgrass Foxtails Fall panicm Cocklebur* Lambsquarters* Morningglory* Hairy Nightshade* Wild mustard Redroot pigweed Common purslane Wild radish *Label suggest only suppression of these weeds.

  24. New Vegetable Herbicides for 2003 Roundup WeatherMax Select Strategy Matrix Command Sandea

  25. Sandea 1) cucumber, cantaloupe, tomato 2) row middle for pepper, eggplant, squash, watermelon, pumpkin* 3) preemergence in succulent snap bean* *Label anticipated in near future.

  26. Sandea - Cucumber and Cantaloupe(Section 3 Label Soon)* • No Plastic: • 0.5 to 0.75 oz applied after planting prior to soil cracking or apply and wait at least 7 d prior to transplant. • 0.5 to 0.75 oz POST after the crop has reached the 3-5 true leaf stage, but before flowering. • 0.5 to 0.75 oz POST no sooner than 14 d after transplant. • Plastic: • 0.5 to 0.75 oz following final bed shaping and just prior to laying plastic. Do not transplant or seed for at least 7 d after treatment.

  28. Sandea - Cucumber and Cantaloupe(Section 3 Label Soon)* • Postemergence application can slow growth of vines • Cantaloupe seems to be more sensitive than cucumber

  29. Cucumber Response to Sandea Applied Topical. TyTy, 2002.* % stunting *Cucumber was in the 3-leaf stage at time of application.

  30. Cantaloupe Response to Sandea Applied Topical. Cordele, 2002.* % stunting *Cantaloupe was 6 inches at time of application.

  37. Pigweed Control by Sandea • 0.67 oz PRE = 90 to 100% (tillage that disrupts herbicide layer will reduce control drastically) • 0.5 to 0.75 oz POST = • 85 to 100% for 0 to 2.5 inch tall • control goes downhill fast after 3” tall

  38. Non-treated Control Sandea (0.5 oz/A) PRE W1-00. Halosulfuron study with Ken Lewis in Cordele.

  39. Non-treated Control Sandea (0.5 oz/A) POST 2-leaf watermelon, 2” Palmer W1-00. Halosulfuron study with Ken Lewis in Cordele.

  40. Nutsedge Control by Sandea • 0.67 oz PRE = 65-80% for about 3 wk • less control if applied under plastic • 0.5 to 0.67 oz POST = 85 to 95% plus some residual
