Extract

Weed control constitutes one of the principal costs of onion production on muck soils. It has been estimated that cultivating and weeding make up nearly 40 per cent of the total labor cost in growing onions (5). The major component of this weed control cost is the hand labor required to remove weeds which come up in the onion row. During the past several years, research to find selective weedicides for onions and thus reduce weeding labor costs has been extensive.
