Abstract

Fatty acid herbicides are applied in an oil based formulation without dilution in water. The application volume rate is low, ie., 25 gallons/acre or less, which saves time, energy and other resources. Less fatty acid herbicide is also employed for equivalent control using high volume water based formulations.
