dc.description.abstractWeeds have been a problem to man ever since he began to till the soil. Their presence is a factor lowering yield and increasing the cost of production of almost every economic crop. Weed eradication and control measures therefore, are bound to loom large in the management of crops at various stages throughout their growing period. Following upon such discoveries as those of Slade et al (1) and Mitchell and Hamner (2) that synthetic growth-regulating substances possessed properties capable of causing violent and often fatal disturbances to plant growth, new and effective methods of destroying undesirable species were developed. In fact, it can be said that the whole thought and practice of weed control was revolutionized by the promotion of certain practical aspects proceeding from the rapidly accumulating knowledge of plant-growth substances.
