Limitations and Concerns
1. Limited number of scientists working in specialty crops.
2. Most growers scared to death of herbicides

Limitations and Concerns
1. Limited number of scientists working in specialty crops.

Weakness of Pigweeds
1. Emergence depth!
2. Seed life longevity?
3. Light requirement for emergence.

Nutsedge Tuber Production: The Key
YEAR 1: 10 plants (tuber) survive fumigation
35,000 plants ready for year 2
YEAR 2: control = 95% control (1750 plants survive)
6,125,000 plants ready for year 3
YEAR 3: control = 95% control (306,250 plants survive)
1,071,875,000 plants ready for year 4
