Summary. The effect of pre‐ and post‐emergence applications of neburon on the growth of Pueraria phaseoloides and Centrosema pubescens has been tested. Pueraria phaseoloides was adversely affectcd by both applications, seprately and combined, the effect being greater on a sandy soil than on a clay soil. Centrosema pubescens showed greater tolerance, and was little affected by post‐emergence treatment but pre‐emergence treatment showed some adverse effect. The check to growth of the legumes could be offset by increased rates of sowing. It appears that neburon might be suitable as a selective herbicide for application in tropical legumes.
