of weed eoneee I without inj ury 'to .t(llll8toes was in the TU1am treated plot •• Although no yield reoords were ta~.n it was thousht tha~ yields in the best plots would have been good. The results ln the transp1ant.a tomato exper~ ls presented in table 2. All chemicals B1gnificant1y increased weed control as compared to the untreated check. The best weed C0l1tro1 wes in plots treated with Diphen-, amid at 6 and 9 1bs. per acre, Stam P-34 at 6 1bl. per acre, Prometryne at 3 1bs. per acre, Casoron at 4%lb•• per acre and Tl11e. at 6 1bs. per acre. 145 Only two harvests were made and only ripe marketole fruit taken for record. Plots treated with Dlphenamid at 9 1bs. per acre and Tl11am at 4". 1bs. per acre had a significant l~rease in yield as compared to the untreated check,plot. The yleld from'the plots treated with the chemical Stam P-34 at 6 lbs • per aCre appro~hed B1gn1fiC8ftee. OONCL1!SION In the direct seeded tomato ezpertment, it 100ke at this ttme that chemicals .cou1d replace other mathods of weed control in the plant row. If this is 't~ue, direct seeding of Cpmatoes is a possibility in Pennly1­ vania. The beltareatments wereDlpbenemid at 6 and 9 lbs. per acre in a pre-emergence application and Ti11am at 6 1bl. per acre in a pre-planting loi1 incorporation treatment. " I In the transplanted tomato experiment, the outstanding chemicals were Dipbenamid in the post-plantiPi treatment. Ti11~ ~n the pre-p1aneing soil incorporation treatment and Stam P-34 in the delayed post-planting treatment.
