The application of herbicides after the planting furrows had been made but immediately before planting did not give satisfactory weed control and had a harmful effect on the cane. The most satisfactory weed control was obtained by a surface application, immediately before furrowing, of a mixture of 20 kg. TCA and 2 kg. of the ammonium salt of 2, 4-D per ha. This treatment prevented weed growth for up to 8 weeks and had no adverse effect on cane growth. It is recommended that the cane should be planted as soon as possible after treatment. A machine designed for the large-scale application of herbicides is described. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)Downloads
