Abstract

The concept of controlled release of herbicides has created in some workers expectations beyond possibility. In this theoretical paper, we examine the results to be expected based on a simplistic model. The purpose of the development is that it serve as a guide to experimentation and as a stimulant to such experimentation by revealing the possible advantages which may occur.
