Control of Weeds with Dowfume MC-2 in Woody Stock Production at the Albuquerque SCS Nursery

For a number of years we have used 2,4-D as an indirect control of weeds in the area under sprinkling system where most of our woody stock is grown. This indirect control has been done by spraying fallowed areas, borders, surrounding waste areas, and grass-sodded areas in the soil-improvement stage of rotation. Sometimes very local applications of 2,4-D have been made in nursery plantings on individual plants of bindweed. We have had good results in the eradication of bindweed and in the control of horsenettle. The latter species seems to be very difficult to eradicate, though we probably have not .expended as much energy on this species as on bindweed. Fair control of nutgrass with 2,4-D has been obtained where applied on borders, under sprinkling lines, and other areas where a high density of this weed occurred.
