Abstract
A variable dosage sprayer was used in a series of weed control experiments. These tests demonstrated the diversity of problems that can readily be studied with the aid of such a machine. Undoubtedly further applications will be found as the machine becomes more widely used.The machine was found to have several advantages over conventional plot sprayers used in weed research:1. The accuracy with which the toxicity or selectivity of a herbicide could be measured.2. The suitability for studies on the effect of admixtures of herbicides such as oil in the carrier.3. A substantial reduction in the number of plots needed to obtain the required information with a resulting saving of time and effort.
