NEW WEED-KILLING chemicals
are developed every year but an old
reliable, 2,4-D, is still top one for
general weed control jobs around
your farm. 1t can help control most
broadleaf weeds, annual or peren-
NAL, in your grain fields. And, used
as supplement to good farming, it
can do it profitably.
Even 2,4-D has its problems, how
ever, and one big one is being pro-
vided by nature.
Take a look at your fields this
spring. Do you see more Russian
thistle, sunflower, cow cookie and
corn cromwell than usual? More
of the pigweeds, wild buckwheat,
cocklebur or sow thistle?
Tolerant Weeds Increasing
Chances are you will, because
that's the situation in much of dry
land Montana. These weeds are less
sensitive-in some cases, almost toll
erant-to 2,4-D. They are gradually
increasing in number, perhaps at
the expense of fanweed, wild mus
tard, false flax and other ANIMALS
very sensitive to the chemical And
they make chemical weed control
little harder.
You can kill these slough" weeds
with 2,4-D-but you have to spray
them during early growth and with
a higher rate of the chemical Here
are the recommendations:
For drYland spring wheat. winter
wheat and barley: Use the ester of
2,4-D at a rate of " to "a pound
acid equivalent per acre (14z pints
of isopropyl ester). If you have few
of these more tolerant weeds, or if
weed growing conditions are ex-
tremely favorable, 1I3 to u pound
Zone pint of isopropyl ester) is suf-
ficient.
For drYland oats and flax: Use
the anime formulation of 2,4D
rather than the ester. And, for flax,
cut the rate to "a pound per acre.
For irrigated grains: Again use the
anime formulation-a pint or pint
and half per acre, depending on
the types of weeds you have.
Spray Early
And spray early. Time, of course,
depends on your crop. But weeds
species such as the pigweed, wild
buckwheat and Russian thistle must
be treated in the 2-to-4 leaf stage
or they become resistant to 2,4-D
All weeds become more resistant as
they mature.
It's safe to spray flax once the
plants have 4 to S leaves, expert
ments at the Central Montan;
Branch Station, Moccasin, show
For cereal grains, spray when the

Many Promising New Chemical Bat

For Weed Control

also mean you need be more care
full. Most chemicals are hazardous
to grains in some way or another;
2,4-D is no exception.
Used right, it will make you
money: Four-year experiments on
Central Montana farms by the Moe
casin station show 2,4-D, applied at
normal rates on moderately weed
infested wheat fields, boosted grain
yield an average 1853 per cent by
killing weeds.
Spray Only When Needed
But other experiments show 2,4-D,
used unnecessarily, can cost you.
From 1913 through 1851, Jim Krall
tested the effect of 2,4-D on weed
free grains. Krall hoed and pulled
all weeds from plots of barley,
spring and winter wheat, then
sprayed A third pound of 2,4-D
decreased yields of the plots an av-
erage 6 per cent for the wheats,
per cent for barley. Two-thirds of a
pound meant per cent less winter
wheat, 10 per cent less spring and
IL per cent less barley.
Considering this, should you spray
a field that has only light weed
infestation?
No, Krall says. And he points to
another Moccasin test to illustrate.
Six years ago, in a field of winter
wheat containing a wide range of
weed populations, Kran set up a
series of experimental plots accord
ing to infestations. He sprayed part,
left the rest as check plots.
Value Depends on Infestation
Results showed yield increases
from spraying were closely CORE
lated to weeds present-but more to
their weight than their numbers.
Large, heavy, fall-germinated weeds
were more detrimental to the grain
than weeds terminated in the spring.
(See table below)
Spraying the heavy infestation OF
weeds increased wheat yield from
22.2 bushels per acre to 1928. Spray
ing light infestations boosted yield
only slightly, from 1858 bushels to
26.4.
SO spraying just to clean up fields
doesn't seem economical or justifi-
able" Kral says. ''We recommend
that 2,4-D not be used unless your
field is moderately or heavily in
