Extract

Trials at the Everglades Experiment Station have shown that onions may be successfully grown in this area. The rich organic soil and the relatively long growing season of the crop present, however, a difficult problem in regard to the control of weeds. Weeds are very numerous and their rate of growth is exceedingly rapid. The problem is of such magnitude that the expense of hand weeding in closely spaced row crops discourages the farmer from undertaking the production of an otherwise potentially profitable crop. This study was undertaken to investigate the possibilities of weed control in onions in the organic soil of the Everglades using herbicides as both pre- and post-emergence treatments and determining their effects on yields.
