Abstract

Isopropyl N-phenylcarbamate (IPC) and isopropyl N-(3-chlorophenyl)carbamate (CIPC) were the most effective herbicides for controlling downy brome without serious injury to perennial grasses grown for seed production in eastern Washington. The disodium salt of 3,6-endoxohexahydrophthallic acid (endothal) gave good downy brome control at Spokane, but was not satisfactory for control at Hooper and Pomeroy, Washington.
