| Authors: | B.P. Verma, A.E. Smith |
| Abstract:
Development of a slow release herbicide technique for controlling weeds in container grown plants is reported. The article discusses the rationale for developing slow-release herbicides, the concept, and a review of eight years of research efforts. Discussion related to the formulation procedures, weed control efficacy, environmental consideration, and limitations are presented. A prospective of extending this concept for developing other slow release pesticide formulations and its overall affect on labor management and environment is presented. | |
