Extract

Isopropyl N-phenyl carbamate (IPC) has been used to a limited extent during the past few years as a selective herbicide in the control of weedy grasses and certain broadleaf species. Some investigators have found IPC to be highly effective; others have found IPC to be ineffective. The present investigation and those of Freed (6) indicate that environmental conditions are extremely important in determining the extent of plant response. Shaw and Swanson (8) found that the herbicidal effectiveness of IPC was highly variable under greenhouse conditions.
