Extract

Weed control is one of the principal problems of turf grass management. With the discovery that 2,4–D would selectively kill many broad-leaved weeds their control in turf has been minimized. As has been indicated by Grigsby (9), the widespread usage of 2,4–D may be an important factor in increasing the importance of crabgrass (Digitaria spp.) as a turf weed.
