Will pursuit herbicide kill pumpkins? Pumpkins are not on the label but I have had some people tell me it does not kill pumpkins. I have a 1 acre patch that is overwhelmed with small button weed.

The label is the law, so make sure you have some corn in your patch. If it works please let me know. I'm not aware a any good herbicides for pumpkins. I know of a local pumpkin patch that tried some herbicide last year (sorry I don't remember which one) and it just didn't work. It yellowed the weeds a bit and then they recovered. If you can plant into a stale seed bed or get the pumpkins up first and then spray a preemergents...Good luck!
