abstract

Weeds are a problem in transplanted carnations during early stages of development when there can be no soil fumigation or steam sterilization. Early mechanical control of weeds is made impossible by the wire, plastic or bamboo netting that is placed on beds at planting for plant support. The only alternative is expensive hand weeding. The study reported here evaluates herbicides for control of weeds in transplanted carnations in ground beds.
