Practical 2 4 D weed control shown at Dominion farms

Experiments since 1947 at Dominion Experimental Farms Breander Manitoba and Swift Current Saskatchewan show 2 4 D as a practical weed killer in grain crops and flax. Results use 24 1 solutions in 3 to 4 gallons per acre with costs around 1 75 per acre in 1948. The study notes selective action and prompts the view that tillage remains primary, with 2 4 D as a supplementary option and not a full replacement. Some weeds resist or require heavy applications and grasses and wild oats resist. low pressure boom spraying is common and large farms use 30 to 40 foot booms.
