Abstract

The growth and development of newly-planted red tart cherry trees on a silt loam soil were satisfactory following six annual treatments of 2.5, 5, and 10 lb/A of 2-chloro-4,6-bis (ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine) or 2.5 lb/A of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (diuron). Measurements of tree diameter and leaf area gave no evidence of injury. The control of annual and perennial weeds was excellent. In survey experiments, trees which received 80 lb/A of simazine in 4 years were not injured, but 160 lb/A in 4 years produced leaf injury in the fourth and fifth years.
