Extract

Sugar cane appears to be suitable for the use of 2,4–D sprays for selective weed control. According to Young (1952) this is a regular commercial practice on some of the large plantations in Puerto Rico. The operators of certain plantations in Peru have found the application of 2,4–D to be economically practicable for broad-leaved weed control. Best and Gibbens (1951) have reported the value of 2,4–D sprays for sugar cane in Louisiana.
