Extract

The possibility of using 2,4-D as a soil sterilant was investigated by Crafts in 1949. He concluded that 2,4-D may be useful under very dry conditions. In 1954, Shafer reported several years work using soil applications of 2,4-D for control of perennial weeds. Since that time many research workers have evaluated 2,4-D and other phenoxy herbicides for the control of bindweed and other perennial weeds. Results of these trials varied from excellent to poor.
