238. Comparisons of Spray and Granular Applications of Certain Herbi­ . cides for Weed Control in Corn !!l ­ Frank B. Springer, Jr.lfO d Richard H. Cole - MUchhas been written in popular periodicals concerning the virtues of gratwlar herbicides vs liquid herbicides for use in controlling broadleaf weeds and grasses in corn. It is agreed that several herbicides previously available only in the liquid state or wettable powders are effective in controlling both broad leaf weeds and grasses when applied in either pre-emergence or post emergence applications but the effectiveness of their counterparts in the granular form is presently being evaluated. Procedure In 1960 three herbicides applied in solution were compared with the granular formulation of the same herbicides and then a comparison of these was made with an effective herbicide and an untreated control plot. Pre-e~rge~ce treatments of 2,4-D butyl ester solution a,d , ,granular' (2,4~dichlorophenoxyacetic acid butyl ester), CDAA! 3/ (a·Chloro-N-N~diallylacetamide) solution and granular, CDAA-T_ (a-Chloro-N-N dlallylacetamide and trichlorobenzyl chloride) solution and granular, and atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6­ isopropylamino-S-triaz~n~)were evaluated at Newark and Georgetown, Dela-wsre; at '~ates indicated in Table 1. The soil in the experimental areas:was a Matapeake silt loam at Newark and a NorfQlk sandY10am-atGeorgetown, Delaware. The plots consistedof 4'J:;ows,each18ft. long and spaced 3 ft. apart.

'Amodified bicycle type experimental . plot' sprayer was 'used for those chemicals applied in solution. The low concentration of each herbicide applied in solution was applied in 20 gal. of water per acre and the double con­ ,centration was applied in 40 gal. of water per acre. The double concentration was applied by spraying the designated ..._-_ .-­ 1/ Assistant Agronomist and Assistant Professor, University of 2/ - Delaware.
