Abstract

In an attempt to improve the metering of herbicides applied to soil in horticultural plantings, loosely knitted cellulose acetate cloth was impregnated with herbicides, using appropriate acre rates as determined by those used in spray applications. Treated cloth was placed on the soil and the edges anchored or the cloth was lightly covered with soil. Adjacent plots were sprayed with the same herbicides. The herbicide-impregnated cloth was as effective as spray applications of 12 of the 15 herbicides used.
