Abstract
WITH grants from the Agricultural Research Council, a research team at the Imperial College of Science and Technology has been engaged in studying the general problem of weed eradication by chemical methods. Since April 1943, 4-chloro-2-methyl-phenoxyacetic acid and 2: 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid have been included in the investigations. Their performance under field conditions has been compared with other herbicides in some forty-eight experiments involving more than 3,000 plots.
