Extract

The chloro-substituted benzoic acids discussed in this paper have been evaluated experimentally as soil sterilizing herbicides for field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) control at the Ft. Hays Experiment Station since 1955. The value of soil sterilization in a perennial weed control program in the Great Plains region is evidenced by recommendations made by several state experiment stations. Prior to 1950, most semi-permanent soil sterilization was accomplished with such chemicals as sodium chlorate, boron compounds, and arsenicals. These compounds continue to be important even though the poisonous qualities of arsenic compounds and the hazards of handling sodium chlorate are well recognized.
