One of the best herbicides for melons is called Sandea. Excellent weed
control. Safe? Probably not. It has a long residual in the field, at least
here in Oklahoma. Another herbicide, Curbit, can be used on most of the
cucurbits. It's been around a long time. Problem is, buying all these little
bits of this or that gets expensive. And, doing a tank mix to spray a little
bit of ground, then cleaning it out to mix up another tank of some other
chemical so you can spray tomato ground or whatever, well it eats up an
incredible amount of time.
We are looking into using plastic mulch this year. We've put it off because
we didn't want to deal with pulling it up at the end of the season, but our
weed problem is really getting out of control.
