Weed Control in Pumpkin

Effective weed control in pumpkin is essential in growing a crop that maximizes its potential.

Weed control should be carried out before and after planting, although the reduced range of actives will mean that you are unlikely to achieve a perfectly clean crop.

Given in the factsheet is some general guidance on weed control, but it is highly recommended that suitably qualified agronomic advice is sought throughout the season which may be available through the Tyfu Cymru program.
