The yield potential during this transition year is large and should be taken advantage of. Marketing this large crop has been a challenge for some growers. The establishment of a trellis system is a necessity, not an option. With the lack of tall primocanes there will be no support available for the fruiting canes. A removable trellis system can make mowing easier after fruiting is complete.
Early spring is preferred to ensure dormancy.
When applying Ignite you must get excellent coverage. A flat fan nozzle is recommended and it would be wise to shroud your boom to prevent drift. Ignite will kill most vegetation that it contacts. Ignite is generally a contact herbicide but does appear to have limited systemic activity. Remember, timing is critical - be sure to apply the correct rate and water volume as specified on the label.
