A duplicate test was started August 11. This location with a similar sandy loam soU had very good uniformity. The weather I however, was mucb different. Irrigation was supplied after the first treatment. Light showery weather prevailed tor tbe next week. l-bisture at the surface was almost continuously good for seed germination. However, no substa'Zltial rainfall occurred.. By the time of the six-d.ey-treatment all crops seedings had emerged. In Table 4 are presented. the crop and weed control ratings taken three weeks following the first treatment. The data show a striking picture of increased injury at the time of crop sprouting and less deme&eat the siXth day when the crap had Just emerged. The same general trend but much less Pronounced was evident in weed control. These results strongly suggest that aQ'tivity of CDECin relation to crops frequently considered. "tolerant" is definitely influenced by time of application. Furthermore, that actiVity on weeds species is perhaps increased when the seeds are sprouting. Tabie 4.

DiacU8sion In the tests reported here. there were several observations that need critical evaluation and interpretation. Results nth formulation were somewhat variable but were definitely not an important factor influencing overall CDECperformance • . Mechanical incorpOration was inferior to irrigation as a meansof enhaD.cing CDECactivity 'Whenthe soil was fairly dry. However, under condit ions as in test twO, where underneath the surface, seed germit!ation occurred without additional water, mechanicsl was generally ae good as watering. An important exception was tt1esuperior results obtatned with theb1gber rate of water u.ed1a;telyafter applying CIBC. No detin1teatatelDent can be made on the reasons tor thea41 result,.
