Extract

In the field of weed control a great deal of attention is being given to the control of weeds after they germinate; in other words, pre- and post-emergence weed control. Control of dormant weed seeds in the soil has received little attention except in seedbed fumigation and in turf renovation. Many of the fumigant type materials were selected and screened for the control of nematodes and soil-inhabiting insects. It was discovered that some of them will control dormant seeds as observed by reduced weed stands as compared to non-treated areas.
