Weed Control Trials in California : Pre-emergence weed control 

 tri al s in young deciduous fruit tree plantings in California showed 

 that the greatest variation in response resulted from differences in 

 location and that di fferences among fruit species or even among her- 

 bicides often was relatively insignificant in comparison with loca- 

 tion differences. However, on a pound-f or-pound basis, diuron gen- 

 erally was safer than simazine with most species. Peach trees were 

 more resistant to uracils (for example, terbaci 1) than to simazine 

 and di uron . --From Journal of the American Society for Horticultural 

 Science , Vol . 94 (No. 1): pp. 57-60.
