Cropping Systems Alternatives
Tomato grown as a Telone C-17
single crop a) Tillam, applied as a preplant incorporate prior to plastic application using a
 disk. This would be considered a separate operation.
 b) Plastic mulch application process.
 c) During the season, paraquat or roundup used for post plant weed control.
 d) Off-season management for light population of nutsedge would require a weed
 free fallow period by using 3-4 sprays of roundup and 1 cultivation (disking). If
 no nutsedge, then 2-3 diskings with no spray.

 Tomato grown as a Telone C-17: Applied for the first crop, but not for second, because the plastic is
