GAS BURLEY BEDS FOR BEST RESULT By WILEY DUVALL, Assistant County Agent Fumigation with methyl bro mide is still the best way of con trolling weeds in burley plant beds. This belief is held by Walt er (iosnell OI liiraie ubiiwwi Madison County. Last year, he decided to test another chemical sold under the trade name of yBnide" fhi .ehemkals wsa-not Iting' ! icommended by eiqr 'rb aearch stations, but it had been cleared for use on burley plant beds. Several farmers were using1 it on entire plant beds. Gosnell decided to be more cautious. He treated one-half of a bed with lEnide and used methyl bromide on the other half. The half treated with En idle was covered with weeds; methyl bromide gave satisfactory control. In research trials, diphenamid sold as "Dnide" and as "Dymid", has given erratic results. It will not control insects nor disease organisms. Fumigation with methyl bromide will control weeds, insects, and diseases. It has the higher initial cost, but in the long run, it is the most economical method of burley plant bed weed control. Large Still Cut Down On Laurel By Sheriff's Dept.
