The commercial use of herbicides formulated on granular carriers has expanded rapidly and in many instances has preceded research on their development and properties. Experimental studies have been concerned primarily with field problems involving the control of weeds in a particular weed-crop situation. Conflicting results obtained in both the experimental and the practical use of granular herbicides have emphasized the need for basic information on the mode of action of granular-herbicide formulations and the effect of environment and cultural techniques on their use.
