Cucurbit Weed Update
Chuck Bornt, Team Leader, Extension Vegetable Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture
As many of you know, we don't have a whole lot of post-emergent herbicides at our disposal for cu-curbits, and those that we do have are more grass herbicides then broadleaf materials. However, halosulfuron (Sandea or Profine), which is also one of our main broadleaf pre-emergent, is labeled and can be quite effective if used properly. If you used either Sandea or Profine pre-emergent even with another pre-emergent, we again would expect to see a few weeds such as Common Lambquar-ters and Ragweed start to breakthrough our pre-emergent herbicide barrier.
