9	Objective Determine the effect of napropamide and oxyfluorfen on weed control on strawberry under different mulch types.
10	Materials and Methods Two field trials at the GCREC-UF in Bradenton, Florida. ‘Camarosa’ strawberry. Pressed beds covered with plastic mulch. Herbicides applied on bed tops and covered with mulch, one week before transplanting. No fumigants applied.
11	Materials and Methods Herbicides: Non-treated control. Napropamide: 4.50 kg·ha^-1. Napropamide: 6.75 kg·ha^-1. Napropamide: 9.00 kg·ha^-1. Oxyfluorfen: 0.57 kg·ha^-1. Napropamide + oxyfluorfen: 4.50 + 0.57 kg·ha^-1. Films: Low density polyethylene mulch (LDP). Virtually impermeable film (VIF).
12	Materials and Methods Treatments factorially arranged. Split-plot design with 5 replications. Factors: Herbicides: Main plots. Mulch types: Subplots.
13	Materials and Methods Variables: Plant number at first harvest. Plant vigor at 6 and 12 WAT (%). Weed counts per species at 6, 10 and 16 WAT. Fruit number and weight: 17 and 21 harvests per trial.
14	Materials and Methods Strawberry plant number: Covariable. Plant vigor: Transformed with arc sin^-1. Weed counts: Kruskal-Wallis test. Yields: Data pooled; ANOVA at 5% significance. LSD at 5% level.
