Ploughless Farming Using ‘GRAMOXONE’

Abstract

Although the replacement of ploughing, cultivating and drilling, by ‘Gramoxone’ spraying and direct drilling, is only in its fourth year, the method is being widely tried for cereals and other crops. The first experiments at Jealott's Hill with the new chemical have historic interest: while they illustrate the care with which difficulties must be probed, they serve to underline the magnitude of the economic advance that is within grasp.
