One quart is the maximum rate, and the smaller the weeds, the better the control will be. Lambsquarter control can only be achieved with Basagran when the weeds are very small. Poast or Assure II are available for grass control. Assure II is probably more effective on volunteer small grains that may have survived the tillage process and are beginning to grow. Be sure to control cucumber beetles on cantaloupe to prevent transmission of bacterial wilt.
Control is necessary from emergence or transplanting until flowering.
Growers should note the date when each field emerges. This year weather data collection will be done by Skybit and funded by the Potato Growers Association. Late blight is still raising its ugly head occasionally. There were several early reports of occurrences in Florida and in Texas. Nothing devastating, but it is still around and growers need to do what they can to protect their crop.
