Poor weed control reduces both yield and quality and can make harvest a nightmare. Fortunately, excellent chemical potato weed control is available. Herbicides can be applied before, at, or after planting, but first applications typically occur between planting and crop emergence. These are often followed by lay-by applications either as part of the final hilling/cultivation or shortly after. Lay-by applications are often not necessary in short-season areas or for early-harvested crops.
