WEED CONTROL ON RAILWAYS

Experiments of total weed control on railway are described. There are weed control with herbicides applied in a liquid either as a solution or a suspension, and weed control with granular herbicides. It is concluded that 1) granule gives similar control to liquid formulation containing the same chemical composition, and 2) Hyver X 0.46 g/m square, Tribac 3.0 g/m square (with liquid), Dezorate S 62.5 g/m square, Borocil 5.7 g/m square and Tribac 20 15 g/m square (with granule) show very good for all vegetation control for railway use.
