Abstract
One of two contrasting methods might be used to control weeds in rank growing crops such as cotton, sugar cane, milo and corn: 1. A temporary sterilization of the soil to prevent the growth of weed seedlings and protect the crop; 2. A series of contact sprays beginning with a premergence treatment and following through with one or more post-emergence sprays until the crop is ready to lay by.
