2024 Pea Herbicide Chart
Julie Kikkert, Team Leader, Extension Vegetable Specialist
Cornell Vegetable Program

It is important to select the proper herbicides for a particular crop. To be most effective, the herbicide must be applied at the correct stage of crop development and weed size. The Relative Effectiveness of Herbicides Available for Use in Peas, 2024 chart gives details on rates, pre-harvest interval (PHI), and weed species controlled. However, it is critical to read the product label thoroughly.
Post-Emergence herbicides have very specific language as to which stage of the pea crop it can be applied to. Click on the Pea Growth Stage file for help with counting nodes in peas.

Upcoming Events
Hudson Valley Orchard Weed Management Meeting

June 25, 2025 : Hudson Valley Orchard Weed Management Meeting
Poughkeepsie, NY
At this meeting, we will discuss previous research on using mulch for weed management, including the benefits of stacking mulch treatments with an organic herbicide program. We will then discuss the treatments in our field trial, discuss results to date, and get initial reactions from the grower, while viewing the field trial. We will then discuss the other study objective, using a mechanical weeding system to replace contact herbicide applications, currently underway in the Champlain Valley.
