WEEDS 



NEW CORN HERBICIDES FOR 1974 



The shortage crunch has not yet greatly affected the supply of herbicides. However, 

 competition for alcohols and some of the other raw materials from the petroleum in- 

 dustry is reportedly beginning to have a slight effect on the price of 2,4-D, the 

 supply of Amiben, and the availability of crop oil. 



Sutan+ is a formulation of Sutan plus a safening agent to reduce the possibility of 

 corn injury. Prompted partly by a slight increase in the incidence of corn injury 

 from Sutan during 1973, the manufacturer plans to convert entirely to Sutan+ in 1974.
