Abstract

Tests the phytoxicity of the herbicide metolachlor on cultivated azaleas and Leucothoe axillaris. Metolachlor is used to control the weedy yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus). Some species experienced temporary injury following a July application of herbicide. However, at the time of crop harvest, there was no reduction in crop quality or size.
