WHEAT FARMERS!
Keep your crops free from choking weeds by using only the best of hormone weedicides
More than 2,000 gallons of Kwinana Brand 24D Ester concentrate were used in Western
Australia during 1955
Maximum growth of wheat is obtained if weeds are kept down.
Wild Turnip and Radish are the most serious offenders, and both of these are easily controlled by spraying with 24D Ester. One gallon of 40 % 24D Ester, mixed with water, treats 16 acres for
Turnip, or 12 to 14 acres for radish.
