Plain language summary

In this workshop we will cover various methods of weed management in potato production systems. We will cover what you can do in your rotation to reduce weed pressure going in to a potato crop and then what you can do to reduce the impact of weeds on potato growth and productivity. We will review mechanical, chemical, and cultural tools you can use to control weeds after they emerge in potato crops. Further, we will review recent research results from the Charlottetown Weeds Lab including crop-topping, harvest weed seed control, and abrasive weed management.
