Abstract

In the past the farmer in Hawkes Bay regarded weeds as a natural hazard. As such he accepted them. With the development of selective weedkillers.there is at least a straw for him to clutch at. In a 1954 survey the most important problems listed for Hawkes Bay were the pasture weeds, barley grass, thistles, blackberry and gorse, and the crop weeds in lucerne, red clover, brassicas, small seed crops and peas. The list also included over 20 other prevalent weeds, docks, weeds in drains, etc. In this paper I intend discussing the more important problems for which chemical weedkillers are of value.
