The objective of this research project was to develop improved weed management programs for processing peppers, cole crops, squash, and pumpkins by evaluating a range of herbicides for crop tolerance and weed control efficacy on these crops. Information on yield, crop sensitivity and control of problem weeds was developed. Improved weed management programs reduce the need for labor for hand hoeing and weeding, reduce the cost of production to the grower and enhance competitiveness of the processing vegetable industry.
