1. Many seeds are affected when planted in mineral or muck soil previously treated with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Concentrations of the acid as low as 1 p.p.m. in the soil affect the germination and growth of many seeds. 2. Although grass seeds can be destroyed, they are more resistant to the acid than are many other seeds.
