Perennial weed infestations in tomato crops can have many negative effects on crops, like lower yields, added costs from losses due to insects and diseases, and reduced-quality products.
The latest Focus on Tomato webcast, titled “Managing Perennial Weeds in Tomatoes,” by Dr. Steve Weller at Purdue University summarizes different perennial weed types, shows examples of problem perennial weeds, and discusses techniques available for managing these weeds.
This talk particularly covers…
- Site preparation
- Elimination of perennial weeds before tomato crop planting
- Methods to manage perennial weeds in the tomato crop
- Perennial weeds management in rotation crops, especially agronomic crops
