Extract

Investigations during the past three decades have confirmed that field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is exceedingly difficult to eradicate. Since the introduction of sodium chlorate by Latshaw and Zahnley various other soil sterilants have been used successfully for spot treatments. Timmons reported the effect of various systems of intensive cultivation on bindweed control as influenced by root reserves. Phillips and Timmons reported the response of bindweed to crop competition and combinations of cropping, cultivation and 2,4-D. The introduction of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) provided a new tool for bindweed control and an impetus for continued research.
