Growers In i 7.9 Bushels More than with 2,4-D I used BUCTRIL on about 500 acres of wheat and had excellent results in a heavy infestation of Tar weed. An accurate check of 2,4-D and BUCTRIL results on 40 acres of Moro wheat shows an increase of 7.9 bushels from BUCTRIL over 2,4 D. Ben Holdman Pendleton, Oregon Gromwell Controlled -High Yield My weed problem on summerfallow was Gromwell thick enough to reduce the yield considerably. We applied BUCTRIL at the 2 pint rate with 30 gallons of Nitrate Solution. The weeds were large, perhaps much too large. The BUCTRIL worked slowly and effectively on this weed. We harvested 65 bushels of wheat that otherwise would have been hard pressed to make 45 to 50 bushels.
