Commercially acceptable weed control is difficult to achieve in plasticulture vegetables even with pre- and post-emergent herbicide applications. These applications often do not provide season long weed control between rows. Moreover, several weed species have become resistant to commonly used postemergence herbicides, including common ragweed and pigweed species. Cover crops are an additional tool that could be successfully integrated into a weed management program.
