There was less difference betwen chemicals on m1neral soils as compared to<br />

those obtained on muck. Almost all e,bem1cals gave adequate weed control.<br />

However, Falone at 4 lbs. and Zytro~ &1; 10 1bs., were :l.nf'erior. CDEC+CDAA 'WaS<br />

only borderline in effectiveness. This is in contras't)"to its excellent per ..<br />

formance on muck. ',);<br />

The crop waS.not seriously redu~e~ by 8lJY chemica.). except Hercules 7175.<br />

Experiments to Evaluate New Chemicals<br />

In 1961 two tests were conducted With potatoes a:Bll attemtt to evaluate<br />

crop and weed response to new chemical.. One of these was located in stolJY<br />

silt loam and. the otl;ler on muck. li:achpl.ot was 3 x 15'1'eet and 1iIBS repJ.icated<br />

twice. All treatments were made shOrtly after planting. Chemicals known to<br />

require incorporation 'were hand r$ked.<br />

Potatoe~ responded favorably to almost all chemicals. Two exceptions 'Ilere<br />

Hercules 7175 and Rand.oxT both of which injured the crop. The weed population<br />

was limited pr1mariJ.y to redroot on the mineral soil. Many compounds were active<br />

against this pest. The muck test was heavily infested with perennial or swamp<br />

smart weed, P01ygonum coccineum. No chemical provided any control.<br />

A sl.l!llll18rYof redroot response to the various chemicals is presented in<br />

table 3.<br />
