Extract

One of the factors to be considered in the establishment and maintenance of an orchard is the competition from weeds for the available supply of moisture and nutrients. Mechanical elimination of competitive plants is time consuming, expensive, and may not be done as early or as frequently as it is needed each year. The use of herbicides as a supplement to such a program now seems worthy of serious consideration. In some instances, as will be seen below, the use of mechanical methods may be eliminated altogether.
