This photo was taken two weeks after a POST-emergent herbicide treatment was applied to the middle two beds. It provided excellent control of pigweed, smartweed, lamb's quarters and purslane escapes, while demonstrating very good crop safety. Find out what this treatment is and whether it is still holding up at the twilight meeting on July 1st! Photo: C. Hoepting.
