URING pasture renovation trials to kill or weaken D existing vegetation (4), three experiments were conducted using various herbicides. Observations were made on the growth and development of forages sown on these areas after treatment. This paper describes the experiments and discusses the patterns of seedling growth on sods where previous vegetation had been either weakened or wholly killed by the herbicides. A comparison of these herbicides and their effects on different species comprising the sod will be described elsewhere.
