New Hormone Weed Killer Effective
Farm losses from weeds exceed all other causes. Development of 2,4-D by the USDA and New York Agricultural Experiment Station will save farmers millions annually. 2,4-D kills weeds by affecting growth, travels through the plant, and is effective against dandelion plantain buckhorn chickweed pennywort and several other weeds at 10 to 15 percent solutions. Cost drops to 4 to 6 dollars per acre, though roots of Canada thistle may resist. It also works on bitterweed bindweed wild mustard wild radish and many shrubs and vines.
