Extract

With the advent of herbicides, a new tool has been made available for studying the effect of soil physical properties on crop growth. This new tool may be used for solving such problems as “What are the beneficial effects, if any, accruing from cultivation for the control of weeds?” “Is cultivation necessary for maximum production?”
