Abstract/Contents:"Herbicides have been used for decades on roads, grass verges, amenity areas and hard surfaces. Atrazine and simazine regularly occurred as contaminants of drinking water, and as a result of this and public pressure to reduce the use of pesticides, they are no longer available for this purpose. Contractors now use alternative residual herbicides which could also become contaminants of water as a result of their persistence and mobility. Users have also begun to use more non persistent foliar herbicides, or residuals requiring lower rates of AI. This may require a different strategy, with repeat treatments to obtain the same result without damage to desirable trees and plants. This paper discusses the current practices and problems encountered, the herbicides available, and the strategies necessary to make the best use of them. Some solutions are suggested to help overcome the difficulties faced by users."
