Abstract

In field and greenhouse experiments, liquid or granular formulations of EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) applied by hand directly in the row with seed of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. ‘Vernal’), controlled grass seedlings in bands, usually 5 to 8 cm wide, without injuring alfalfa significantly. Grass was similarly controlled selectively when a mixture of alfalfa seed and clay granules, similar in size to alfalfa seed and containing 10% EPTC, was seeded mechanically.
