Extract

The use of herbicides among nursery crops has been practiced only to a limited extent. Possibly this is because: slight herbicidal damage is serious in an expensive crop of nursery plants; the diversity of plants in a nursery makes it difficult to find suitable selective herbicides; the relatively small area of many nurseries makes cultivation and hand hoeing more practical than for large acreages; and damage to foliage of nursery crops makes the plants unsaleable whereas in farm crops foliage damage is less significant.
