Vapam Shows Promise as a Forest Nursery Herbicide

The use of chemicals to control weeds in forest tree nurseries has become standard practice.

Allyl alcohol has given some good results as a pre-emergence treatment, but it is dangerous to handle. During the winter of 1955-56 tests were run to evaluate Vapam? (sodium N-methyl dithiocarbamate dihydrate) as a pre-emergence drench.
