Weed Management in New Citrus Plantings and Resets

Abstract

Weeds compete with young citrus trees for nutrients, moisture, etc. and may hinder their successful establishment. Moreover, young trees are more susceptible to damage from herbicide applications compared with mature and established trees. Hence careful and crop safe weed control is a crucial component for newly planted citrus trees. This trade journal article will cover the different aspects of weed management strategies in a new grove planting or a resetting program.
