Abstract

Although selectivity was low, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) gave excellent preemergence weed control when castorbeans (Ricinus communis L.) were planted 2 or 3 in deep. Excellent weed control with little crop injury by 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (amiben) was provided also and selectivity was not affected by depth of planting.
