Abstract
Since weeds in cranberry bogs cannot be successfully controlled by mechanical equipment, there has been considerable interest in chemical means of control. Among the chemicals that have been and are presently being used are iron sulfate, paradichlorobenzene, sodium chloride, sodium arsenate, sodium arsenite, copper sulfate, kerosene, and other herbicidal oils (2). All these chemicals have to be applied in relatively large quantities, which makes for a large per-acre cost of treatment and involves many problems inherent in the application of large quantities of materials. There is, then, considerable interest in a chemical which can be applied in relatively small quantities and which will provide satisfactory control of weeds in the bogs.
