Strawberry - Burn Down Pesticides


WHY SHOULD YOU PRACTICE BURN DOWN ON STRAWBERRIES?

Strawberries are highly susceptible to weed competition, especially at the initial stage after planting when the plants are small and frequent irrigation provides ideal conditions for weed germination. Weed control doesn’t end once the crop is out of the ground.

Weeds such as quack grass, horsetail (aka marestail), and others that grow from underground vegetative parts must be killed before planting strawberries.

WHEN TO APPLY:

• Late fall is a good time to apply residual herbicides for pre-emergence control the next spring

• Fall applications avoid the potential of strawberries greening up before mulch can be removed and spring herbicides can be applied

• An effective strawberry weed control program includes fall dormant applications of residual herbicides

• Herbicides are typically applied on the bed top shortly after fumigation, which typically occurs 21-30 days prior to strawberry transplant

• Applying herbicides through drip irrigation may allow strawberry growers to apply herbicides much closer to the transplant date and thus improve weed control

FLUMIOXAZIN

• Can be applied to bed tops in a manner similar to oxyfluorfen

• Does not have a lift-off potential

• Pre and post emergent control of certain weeds

OXYFLUORFEN

• For fallow preemergent bed use prior to planting strawberries

• Apply at least 30 days before transplanting for effective control of little mallow and filaree, which are not controlled well by the fumigants

• To prevent injury to strawberry plants, do not use unless a plastic mulch will be installed at the time of strawberry transplanting

GLYPHOSATE

• Must be applied at least 30 days prior to transplanting for postemergent control

• For perennial weeds, this application should take place in the late summer or early fall prior to planting

• Controls dandelion, horsetail (marestail), yellow nutsedge, and quack grass
