October Z1, 1998 Why are there so many weeds? By Leslie Huffman OMAFRA WEED MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST Many growers have complained about early .. weeds escapes this -year, and many fields are showing vigorous weed • growth 'in the crops. There are several reasons that contributed tel the - lack of weed control this • year..• First and foremost is the • lack of rainfall in th.e early season Most pre -4a emergent herbicides need at least 1/2' of rain to activate the prod- -act. If this- amount oP rain. does not. arrive before weeds begin to germinate: these early . weed escapes grow and by fall .can tower over the crop.: It is always amaz- ing how. large -a- single' weed can grow if it gets an early break. _ Some fruit ,eg_ etable- growers • .rri- gation to at herbi- . cides with-rtiixud results. The. best control 1 aw from this method was Devrinol (which requires incorporation -by •water well. weed control treatments. The second reason is By late August, weeds the warm season: With appeared tall and health more heat units accumu- lated throughout this sea- son, weed growth has benefited .as much if not' more than craps.
