Abstract
High yields in processing tomatoes depend on a great many factors, not the least of
which is good weed control. Weeds compete severely with the tomato, primarily for
water and light, and interfere with mechanical harvest. The arsenal of herbicides
available for annual weed control in tomatoes is relatively large compared to those
for other vegetable crops. However, because tomatoes are planted over a large range
of soil types and weather conditions, it is difficult to make accurate general recommendations.
