Extract

The small size and slow growth of legume seedlings make them susceptible to damage or elimination by weed competition. Various methods of establishment such as sowing in late summer, sowing with a small grain companion crop, or mowing have not been entirely successful. The increased use of weed-controlling chemicals has awakened considerable interest in the establishment of legumes with the aid of herbicides. Research workers are in agreement that 4-(2,4-DB) [4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butyric acid] can be safely used to control broad-leaved weeds in legumes. However, there is some difference of opinion as to the rates of various formulations that can be safely used.
