A PROGRESS REPORT ON MALEIC HYDRAZIDE FOR GROWTH CONTROL OF GRASS AND TREES

THE SCOPE AND COSTS OF THE GROWING HIGHWAY AND UTILITY MAINTENANCE PROBLEM ARE POINTED OUT. MALEIC HYDRAZIDE, A CHEMICAL GROWTH INHIBITOR, IS DISCUSSED FOR GRASS AND TREE GROWTH CONTROL. RATES, TIMING, SPRAYING TECHNIQUES AND RESULTS ARE DETAILED BASED ON EXTENSIVE TEST PROGRAMS. ACCEPTANCE AND FUTURE TRENDS ARE ALSO EMPHASIZED INSOFAR AS THE CHEMICAL PERTAINS TO GRASS AND TREES./AUTHOR/
