Extract

Sorghum is second only to wheat in importance in dryland crop production in the Southern Great Plains. Sorghum is planted during the season when several common annual weeds normally emerge. Proper pre-planting cultivation will often reduce the seriousness of weed infestations, but many times the crop is invaded by weeds. Under such conditions chemical weed control is of value. These studies were initiated to determine the effect of 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4–D) on the yield of weed-free sorghum.
