“Many broadleaved weeds can be controlled with one pound of the acid equivalent of 2,4-D in 20 gallons of water per acre. The material is best applied in the late fall or early spring when temperatures will reach 60 degrees or above during the day.

“Wild onion and garlic infestations can be significantly reduced by use of 1-1/2 to 2 pounds of the acid equivalent of a low volatile ester formulation of 2,4-D in 20 gallons of water per acre applied in the fall or early spring when temperatures are 60 degrees or more,” the plant physiologist said.

Kates emphasized that the springtime application should be made before the orchardgrass starts to grow rapidly. Applications made after the crop has
