Extract

Porter, et al. reported promising results for the use of N–(3,4–dichlorophenyl)methacrylamide (referred to in this paper as (DCMA) as a potential post-emergence herbicide for cotton. These workers found when sprays of DCMA were semi-directed under cotyledons of young cotton, satisfactory weed control could be obtained with little injury to the cotton.
