STACKED ATTACK

摘要

WEED CONTROL REMAINS the most significant issue among organic apple growers in the Northeastern U.S., according to Cornell University's Greg Peck. For them, "it's among the hardest things to control," the Assistant Professor of Horticulture, Sustainable Fruit Production Systems, says.At the fore of their dilemma is the lack of effective organic weed control options. None works particularly well alone, Peck says, but many work well in combination, particularly wood-chip mulch and organic herbicides.
