Rototilling was done in June·' SO that the 1959 and 1960 data represents re-establishment over the period June 1960 to November 1961. In the fall of 1959 three months after treatnumt little Agropyron repens was present in the plots receiving simazine or atrazine. This was true also in November 1961 following June 1961 rototilling. Summary In a Dunkirk' silty c1B¥ 101$ simazine and atraZine applied on the SUI"­ face at 5 poundS or at 10 pounds' of active ingredient per acre are effective in controlling Agr0J2.:'Lr.cnr~pens'antt'seedling wceds'ror one and possibly 'biro growing seasons. Ro'';;otiJling 2- 3 times at the closE! of the second aeason largely reduces any herbicidal value and permits nomal growth of red kidney beans during the sensi.tive juvdhileleaf' stage on through to flowering stage. Normal growth of all indicator plants tested is taken to indicate that the soil is free of herbicidal leveis Of the herbicide applied. Incorporation of simazine or atrazine at the tfm~ of application increases the initial efficiency of the herbicidala.ctibh.It is ljJ~ely that incorporation assures placement within the soil. and minimizes loss through run off or ' spreading to adjacent plots. ao~dtilling once a year in present tests appears to be as effective as herbicidal appEcatj,on used once in a three y'ear period. Weed control value is lost and phytotoxic effect to indicator plants was not evident after the second year following application. :References Pridhem, A. M. S.
