Weed Control by Chemical Methods.

L.J. Mathews.

A summary of the herbicides and agricultural poison technology of the time, the result of work conducted at the Ruakura Agricultural Research Centre. Now of considerable historical interest for the almost complete absence of any consideration of the environmental effects of toxic chemical use or the dangers to health they posed, many of these recommended poisons, such as DDT, are now banned. An astonishing testament to Government and industry environmental indifference in 1975.
