| Abstract/Contents: | Investigates the effectiveness of organic weed control programs, including those that use acetic acid and pelargonic acid. Lists the various herbicides used, the plants on which they were tested, and the duration of the experiment. States the observations of herbicides on each plant species. Compares prices of the herbicides used. States that "this study showed that acetic acid is a useful herbicide," particularly against ground ivy. Quackgrass, however, recovered fairly quickly and in some cases even surpassed original levels. Says that "acetic acid is quite costly compared to pelargonic acid or glyphosate, especially when three applications are needed to achieve good control." Adds that "some pesticide applicators may opt to use acetic acid despite higher costs if legislation encourages the use of nontraditional pesticides, and acetic acid is seen as an environmentally friendly alternative." |
