Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Extent and Cost of Weed Control and Specific Weed Problems Chemical weed control is being adopted on an increasing basis on American farms. The data in table 1 show that about 53 million acres were treated with herbicides for weed control in 1959, more than double that treated in 1949. During this same period the number of new organic herbi cides available to farmers increased from about 20 to nearly 60. These new chemicals possess various selective properties that make them useful for controlling weeds in many crops and under different soil and climatic conditions.
