Abstract

The principal weeds of grassland are unwanted grass species, and, although some possibilities are indicated, no chemical method for their removal in farming practice is yet available. The hormone weedkillers may be used for the control of a number of broadleaved weeds. Figures are presented from the available information to show the increased herbage production that has resulted from chemical weed‐control in grassland, and the need for good management is stressed.
