Pre-emergence materials were applied on the day of planting, June 30. Post­ emergence herbicides were applied July 18. Sprays were applied with a knapsack type sprayer at the rate of 60 gallons per acre. Fertilizer borate was dusted on with a hand duster.

Problem: <strong>Weed</strong>s'pose a major problem in t~e table beet acreage of New York<br />

State., A nu~~r 'of' ~erbic~deshave been tested by research workers and used<br />

by growers -- few have been very effective in reducing hand weeding costs<br />

primarily due to inability of the chemicals to control lambsquarter without<br />

seriously injuring thebeets~<br />

Materials - Expt. I was cond~cted on an Ontario Silt Loam soil at Gorham.<br />

N. Y.<br />

Detroit Red beets were planted June 30, 1960.<br />

Eptam and Stauffer 2061 were applied and disced into the soil on June 23.<br />

Pre-emergence materials were applied on the day of planting, June 30. Post­<br />

emergence herbicides were applied July 18.<br />

Sprays were applied with a knapsack type sprayer at the rate of 60 gallons per<br />

acre. Fertilizer borate was dusted on with a hand duster. All herbicides<br />

were applied overall except Solubor and Fertilizer borate. These materials<br />

were applied in an 8 :inch band centered over the beet row.<br />

Expt. II was conducted on a Sandy Loam soil at Ithaca, N. Y.<br />

Eptam and Stauffer 2061 were ~pplied 7/8/60 on plots 6' x 30' that were<br />

water per acre and immediately disced into the soil.<br />
