Extract

Since the advent of the new and, generally, more efficient herbicides, a great deal of research has been done and a voluminous literature presented concerning their uses and possible mechanisms of action. The more obvious effects of the chemicals have been described at length but the basic physiological mechanisms remain relatively undefined.
