Extract

Arsenic-containing compounds have been widely used in the field of weed control. Sodium arsenite has been employed for general contact weed control, and as a herbicide on turf areas. In the latter capacity it is used to control undesirable species without inflicting severe or permanent injury to desirable turf grasses. Disodium methylarsonate (DMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (cacodylic acid) have more recently been shown to possess herbicidal properties. DMA has been used for the selective control of crabgrass in turf, and for removal of certain weedy species from Bermudagrass.
