Integrated Weed Management In Vegetable Production
This project developed Integrated Weed Management (IWM) in vegetable crops, initially concentrating on potato weed and sowthistle in lettuce, celery, brassicas, and onions. It studied the biologies of these two weeds, searching for vulnerable points in their life-cycle. It also evaluated how alternative weed management and crop production techniques affected weed populations and the economies of growing vegetables.
