Extract

The selective control of weeds in crops by the use of 3–(3,4–dichlorophenyl)–1,1–dimethylurea (diuron) has had considerable attention the last five years. Some of the problems of applying diuron are how long and at what depths the herbicide remains in the soil after treatment, with different methods and amounts of irrigation.
