Soil Properties and Application Method Will Play A Crucial Role Picture provided by Tony Weiss, Dow Agro.
Acceptable LONG-TERM Methyl Bromide Alternatives will likely Require Herbicide Input
Two herbicide options in tomato 1. Tillam 2. Sandea
Sandea - Tomato (Section 3 Label Soon)* –0.5 to 0.75 oz following final bed shaping and just prior to laying plastic. Do not transplant for at least 7 d after treatment. –0.5 to 0.75 oz POST no sooner than 14 d after transplant. Directed application suggested.
Tomato and Nutsedge Response to Sandea Applied Topically. TyTy, Sandea 0.67 oz/A POSTNon-treated
Sandea - tomato (Section 3 Label Soon)* –5 trials conducted in GA during 2000, 2001, –No visual injury –No maturity effect –No yield effect –No grade effect Cooperative work with Joel Hudgins, Decatur County.
Sandea (0.5 oz/A) topical Non-treated Pepper and eggplant is a different story.
Non-treated Sandea (0.5 oz/A) applied under plastic
Pepper Yields with Sandea Applied Under Plastic. Jumbo - Total Yield. box/A Lewis Taylor Farms, Tifton, 2001.
Pepper and Eggplant –Sandea for row middles* –Otherwise, working on getting herbicides labeled *Label anticipated in the near future.
