Show IPC, New Weed Killer, Showing High Promise The new alphabetical weed killer, kill-er, IPC, that was humorously hailed as the eventual successor to the lawnmower in press releases because of its grass growth control possibilities, is in reality showing a tremendous promise as a selective selec-tive grass killer in a variety of crops. . . . Virgil Freed, associate agronomist agrono-mist for the Oregon -state college agricultural experiment station, reports re-ports this to be the case after experiments ex-periments with the weed killer. Conceding that work with IPC as a lawn grass growth regulator is still in its earliest experimental stages, Freed points out that IPC's uses as a weedy grass killer in legumes, seed crops vegetable crops, strawberries, orchards and perennial grasses are advanced enough to tab the chemical nearly as valuable as 2,4-D. |
