On the Collington:l~am 801.1, ,ragweed was the primary broadleaf Crabgrass and switchgra8s (Panfeum.app , ) were the principal grasses. weed. Weed control was rated independently by two men on September 20. Scoring was delayed in order to obtain a measure of the treatments ability to furnish full season weed control. . RESULTS Post-Transplanting. The mean cont~'Ql r~tings shown in Table 2 indicate that the herbicides broadcast in early june ~ere not effective in suppressing weed growth for the subsequent l6-week period. .

The effects of plant cOMpetition:'W'ere reflected in the yields, and fruit size (Table 3). For example, Neburon treated plots yielded 9.57 and 7.11 tons of tomatoes less than the check plots on the Downer and Colling ton soils, respectively. Fruit. from the Neburon, Solan and Zytron treated plots tended to be smaller than those. from the check. Reduction in size is indicated by the increase in number of f~it required per 35-pound hamper. The differences may be attributed chiefly to the,laek o~ weed control in the period between treat­ ment and lay-by when t~e check. plots' were kept weed free.
