INCREASED effectiveness of 2, 4-D on seedling grasses by the addition of concentrate 40 and oil (3), or diesel and aromatic oil (5) has been reported. The most effective herbicide available at present for use against mature grasses is probably sodium trichloroacetate (TCA) (1). It has been shown to produce satisfactory control of many grass pests (2) in Puerto Rico, but this material does not exhibit hormone action and large amounts per acre must be applied to produce satisfactory control of most mature grasses.
