Two grassy weeds, crabgrass and yellow foxtail, were used as test species. The results showed that grassy weeds may be controlled with lower rates of Atrazine by using non-phytotoxic oils as adjuvants. Differences in Atrazine enhancement were observed among the oils tested and the rates of application. Early postemergence applications (weeds at the one- to two-leaf stage of growth) resulted in better control than applications delayed 1 week. ER -
