Extract

Flax in Uruguay is normally sown in July and August. The common weeds in flax, radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and Rapistrum rugosum L., in the Cruciferae, and Ammi majus L., in the Umbelliferae, are readily controlled by hormone-type weed killers. Experimental plots of flax may be sown from May to September or even later. The weed problem in plots is different from that in farm fields. Plots sown in May or June are usually relatively free of weeds; plots sown in July or later may be heavily infested by various weed species, both broad-leaved and grasses.
