Extract

The control of weeds in strawberries is one of the most essential factors in strawberry production. Strawberry plants are easily overgrown by tall, rapidly growing weeds and, in a few weeks, they may be severely damaged. Hand hoeing to control weeds in strawberry plantings is a very expensive operation varying from $100 to $300 an acre, or even more depending upon the weed infestation. Growers have used various means of reducing weed competition, including the use of geese, the use of virgin land, lands relatively free of weeds, and fall planting for spring fruiting. In recent years, investigations have been conducted on the use of chemicals for weed control in strawberries.
