BROAD-LEAF WEEDS; THERE ARE NOT ANY GOOD CONTROL OPTIONS FOR LARGE-SEEDED BROAD LEAF WEEDS, ESPECIALLY POSTEMERGENCE; THE ONLY PRODUCT ALLOWED FOR POSTEMERGENCE WEED CONTROL IN WHITE (CHIPPING POTATOES) IS RIMSULFURON; SOIL CARRYOVER OF RIMSULFURON PREVENTS SOME CROP FROM BEING PLANTED THE NEXT YEAR; 2,4-D USE IN FRESH POTATOES HAS BEEN SHOWN TO SUPPRESS WEED AND NOT LIMIT YIELD OR CAUSE CARRYOVER; THERE IS NO DATA ON RESIDUES OF 2,4-D AFTER THE CHIP FRYING PROCESS; PER MN ME-TOO REQUEST: THE NORTHERN PLAINS POTATO GROWERS ASSOC. STRONGLY SUPPORTS THIS PROJECT REQUEST
