Express 2-2191 New Chemical Weed Killed Cleans Up Canada Thistle With One Spraying Bindweed, Canada thistle, trum pet vine, and many other tough broad-leaved perennials can be eliminated tor a year or longer by one spraying with a new chemical weed killer now avail able. Called “Tryben” 200 weed killer* this is considered to be the first really effective control for certain broad-leaved deep-rooted perennials and woody vines Many species which can be easily controlled with “Tryben” under widely varying conditions have responded to other weed killers only at critical stages of growth, if at all, and even then have required successive treat ments to finish the job. THIS NEW material is based on the dimethylamme salt of tnchlorobenzoic acid (TEA) and contains two pounds of acid equivalent per gallon Effective through both confect and residual action, it fits into chemical weed control programs as a long-needed single treatment where both types of herbicidal action are required tor complete long-lasting control. Development of herbicidal uses of compounds based on tnchloro benzoic acid has beenuundertaken by the Du Pont Company for the past two years m cooperation with state weed control investigators jh most states where deep-rooted perennial weeds are a problem. Many successful trials have been made in widely scattered states, including Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, North and South Dakota, Minne sota, Texas- California, Oregon, Colorado, Montana, Missouri and "Wyoming “TRYBEN” 200 weed killer is non-selective and is formulated as a liquid to be diluted with water for spray application Total spray \olume needed per acre depends s.
