BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The postemergence-active herbicides lactofen, fomesafen, and acifluorfen were applied to established matted-row strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa) and evaluated for broadleaf weed control and foliar phytotoxicity. Strawberries were evaluated for yield and fruit quality. Treatments were applied following June renovation. All herbicide treatments resulted in acceptable control of broadleaf weeds present at the time of application; however, sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia) germinated after herbicide application. All treatments caused foliar development. Fomesafen and acifluorfen were the only herbicides to suppress runner count. Yields the following year were not reduced by herbicide treatments. Chemical names used: (|)-2-ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzate (lactofen); 5-(2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-N-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzamide (fomesafen); 5-(2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid (acifluor
