Weeds, Diseases and Pests Resources
-
Weed management is one of the most critical and costly aspects for container nursery production. Weeds can quickly outcompete the crop for light and other resources, reducing the rate and amount of crop growth as well as salability. Preventative practices are most effective, primarily with the use of preemergent herbicides. Weed management alternatives to synthetic herbicides include sanitation, exclusion, prevention, hand weeding, mulching and use of cover crops, heat, and nonsynthetic herbicides. Only some of these alternative methods can be used to control weeds in containers, but all can be used to manage weeds around containers and in noncrop areas.

Even with today’s technology, it is critical that growers use directed herbicides in their cotton crop to improve coverage of weeds hiding under the cotton canopy. Precision applications maximizing spray coverage of weeds and minimizing spray contact with cotton, which can cause injury, is critical. Spray fender/cultivator and shield/hood sprayers are commonly used for precision, directed-spray applications.
