Abstract

Wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) and wild turnip (Brassica Tournefortii) occur over a very wide area in Western Australia and are two of the most troublesome weeds of cereal crops. In a period of three years the area sprayed with hormone-like weed-killers for the control of these weeds has increased from experimental proportions to an estimated total of 400,000 acres in one season.
