342 Approximately five weeks after herbic1~1 applications were made, weed control and corn injury ratings were made by several independent observers using the scale 0 to 10, where 0 =no effect and 10 - complete control or kill. These data were transposed to square roots in O~d8r to permit more valid statistical analy~is. The corn was harvested trom the two center rows on October 2 and 4. Yields were determined by obtain1ag ten butt samplelS and drying these to constant weight, then converting all fiel~ weights to 15.5 per cent moisture. J Results and Discussion The principle weeds observed in the e~erimental area were barnyard grass (Echinochloa crussa11i) and lambsquarters (~podium ~). The weed oontrol data expressed as square roots for the . three granular sizes for the two partiole breakdown types and at the two rates of herbicidal applioation are presented in Figure 1. It oan be seen that the material carried on the 30/60 size of the RVMtype granular effeoted less weed control than that of the, LVM granular type. The 24/48 size produced a higher level of control than the 30160 size as RVMgranu1ars, however, both sizes displayed comparable oontro1 with the LVMtype. Whenthe various mesh sizes of the granular preparations were oompared at the two rates, irrespeotive of granular breakdown or granular ooncentration, two interesting observations were made. Firstly, at the li pound rate the 24/48 meSh size produoed the highest level of oontrol the 20/35 mesh size produoed the poorest control, and the 30/60 size was intermediate. Seoondly, the inherent differenoes observed at the lower rate of 2,4-D were ob­ 1it4rated at the three pound rate. The effeots of particle breakdown and granular concentration on weed control, irrespective ot formulation and particle size, are presented in Figure 2. It oan be seen that the 10 per cent ooncentration granular showed better weed control than the 20 per cent material with the RVMtype. However,'phese two ooncentrations gave similar results with the LVMgranular. . There ~as a slight differenCe in weedpontrol in favor of the 10 per oent ooncentrationat the high r.te of 2,4-D. When these two conoentrations were. compared at the 1; pound rate, ~he control was similar. .
