128. - a Weeds were taken from a 6' by 6' area ina ide a 9' by 12' plot to reduce likelihood of harvesting weeds from borders which may have received spray drift from adjacent plota. Weed weights are an average of the 8 replications for each treatment. b Denotes significance over treatment 2 at Stievel. c Denotes significance over treatmeat 11 at 5% level. d Denotes significance over treatment 4 at 5l level. All the treatments, except Simazine4Q, reduced the total weed growth over the non-hoed checks. Plant weights were taken after all the fruit had been removed and weighed. The plants were cut off at ground level before weighing. All treatments had significantly larger plants than the non-hoed check. The Simazine 80W+ Solan treatment had significantly larger plants than all other treatments except the hoed check and treatment 6--Eptam + Amiben followed by Solan. SUMMARY Simazine I Ib/A + Solan 4 Ibs/A applied June 22 was considered the best herbicide treatment in the trials. In the three measures of fruit production, early, marketable, and total
