Summary

The establishment of a broccoli industry in the South Carolina will meet the demands of consumers in the state who desire local produce. From a physiological perspective the best time to grow broccoli in South Carolina is the fall. However, during this time period weeds are actively competing with broccoli and can negatively impact yield and quality of the broccoli. Using a pre-plant herbicide coupled with a post-transplant cultivation significantly improves broccoli yield.
