Chemical control of weeds in the Hawaiian sugar industry began in 1913 when experiments with sodium arsenite were first conducted on the Island of Hawaii. Sodium arsenite and some sodium chlorate were the main herbicides in use until a concentrated, activated diesel emulsion (CADE) was developed in 1944. From that time on the chlorophenoxyacetic acids and their compounds, sodium trichloroacetate, sodium 2,2-dichloropropionate, and the substituted ureas and triazines have, in turn, been incorporated into use on plantations for weed control. At present, over a half million acres are sprayed each year at a cost of nearly seven million dollars for labor and material.
