Abstract

Poor establishment and growth of a succeeding crop has on some isolated occasions been observed after glyphosate has been used to kill dense infestations of couch (quack) grass. It appears that damage is caused by toxins and pathogens from the decaying weed residues rather than by the herbicide or its metabolites.
