Extract

Many factors influence the effectiveness of a herbicidal spray. The importance of some, such as herbicide formulation and carrier, has been demonstrated, while the influence of others is either in doubt or has not been established. Since selective herbicides are being applied as sprays to millions of acres annually, more information on factors influencing their effectiveness in spray applications would be of value.
