Bromacil at 20.0 kg a.../ha gave complete weed-free condition one and a half years after the application. San H. 9789 at 20.0 kg a.i./ha although affected the mor- phology and physiology of the weed, complete weed-free condition was not obtained, Coimbnation of bromacil and picloram was more advantageous for allround control of white horsenettie.
