Upon discussions with colleagues in other states as well as with growers and County ANR Agents I initiated a request for a 24c SLN label for Reflex (fomesafen) in pumpkins, squash and watermelon. It is used pre-emergence and has been shown to be useful when managing pigweeds (Amaranthus sp.), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), and velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrastii) among other weeds. This will give our growers an additional tool that is needed when growing cucurbits. Herbicides have typically been limited for this family of crops and this will slow the development of herbicide resistance among the weed populations.
