A Three-Year Study of the Effect of Some Phenoxy Herbicides on Cotton
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Extract
The chlorinated phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acids are extremely valuable in affording a solution to many weed problems. On the other hand, the use of such herbicides may create problems since many crop or ornamental plants which are very sensitive to the phenoxy herbicides may be growing in close proximity to crops or areas in which treatments with such herbicides seems desirable. In the South, cotton may be planted adjacent to crops such as rice, sugarcane or corn or in areas bordering woods, highways or railways. On such areas, the application of phenoxy herbicides may solve the problem of weed control; however, they may create a new problem by causing injury to cotton.
