The Horticulture Crops Weed Science Lab published pumpkin research in the December issue of HortTechnology, available online now. The research investigated the potential of currently unregistered herbicides to control marestail in no-till jack o’lantern pumpkin production. The findings will be used to support expanded herbicide registrations to help pumpkin farmers better manage this glyphosate-resistant weed. This project was part of Celia Corado‘s visiting scholar research in 2023 and continued during the start of her MS degree program in 2024. Thank you to the crew at Meigs for helping with this research.
