weed management strategies may include cultural controls such as flooding and sanding of beds, mechanical controls such as hand weeding, and chemical controls with pre- and postemergence herbicides ( Sandler, 2011b ). Interest in reducing chemical

( Hausbeck and Lamour, 2004 ; Hwang and Kim, 1995 ). Fungicides and cultural control strategies have been used in conjunction with cultivar resistance to reduce losses due to P. capsici ( Ristaino and Johnston, 1999 ). However, the availability of

( Irish et al., 2006 ). BLSD does not immediately kill its host plants; instead, it causes severe leaf necrosis that results in reduced photosynthetic area, thereby impacting the bunch weight and fruit quality. Without chemical and cultural control, yields

developed to this class of insecticides in Florida ( Schuster et al., 2008 , 2010 ) and elsewhere ( Horowitz et al., 2007 ). An effective cultural control program would include reduction of vector populations by initiating timely crop destruction after

To produce uniform plants, growers of herbaceous perennials control plant growth by using both cultural controls, including plant nutrition, light, and temperature, and chemical controls, i.e., PGRs ( Albrecht and Tayama, 1992 ; Whipker et al
