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

to germinate: these early

ing how. large -a- single'
weed can grow if it gets

The second reason is By late August, weeds
