Technical Abstract: The precision placement of the limited number of organically approved herbicides increases their potential usefulness for organic production systems. Corn gluten meal (CGM) is a non-selective preemergence or preplant-incorporated herbicide that inhibits root development, decreases shoot length, and reduces plant survival. The development of a mechanized application system for the precise placement of CGM has increased its potential use in organic vegetable production, especially in direct-seeded vegetables. The objective of this research was to determine the impact of banded CGM applications on direct-seeded squash plant survival and yields. Neither CGM formulation (powdered or granulated), nor incorporation method (incorporated or non-incorporated), resulted in significant differences in plant survival or squash yields. However, the banded application resulted in significantly greater crop safety and yields than the broadcast (solid) applications. It was demonstrated that banded applications of CGM may be useful in direct-seeded squash production and other direct-seeded vegetables.
