Abstract
Experiments to determine the value of selective herbicides and improved soil fertility for the control of mintweed in competition with crop and pasture species are described. Under glass-house conditions mintweed and Queensland blue grass gave a lesser response to added sulphate of ammonia than did Rhodes grass; the contrast was more marked where water supply was limited. Rhodes grass competed more strongly with mintweed than did Queensland blue grass. Where mintweed was controlled by a selective herbicide the yield of sorghum and French millet was increased significantly.
