| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "The very rare, pioneering publication on broadleaf weed control in turfgrasses. It is a publication that summarizes the initial research on 2,4-D as a herbicide for the control of weeds in turfgrasses. The status of broadleaf weed control options prior to 1947 were summarized by Dr. Davis as follows:
It has long been felt that the balance could be shifted in favor of the grass at the expense of the weeds much more rapidly, however, if the weeds could be killed directly, while simultaneously giving encouragement to the grass, making it possible for the grass to fill in promptly the areas originally occupied by the weedy species. Many different chemicals, notably the arsenicals and sodium chlorate, have been used for this purpose. However, the selectivity of these chemicals has not been entirely satisfactory. Even when relatively small amounts have been used, the turf grasses have suffered some temporary injury due to the burning action of the herbicides on the foliage. Although the recovery of the grass usually has been more or less complete, the initial setback resulting from the temporary burn has prevented the grass from filling in the areas occupied by the weeds promptly as the latter die. Moreover, in many instances it has been necessary to reduce the amount of herbicide used so much that the weeds as well as the grass have recovered, and a second or even a third application - each with its temporary burn to the grass has been necessary to effect satisfactory control." p. 205 |

| Quotable quotes | "Perhaps the chief basic principle in good turf maintenance practices, therefore, is so to manage the turf throughout the growing season as to encourage the permanent grasses in their competition with the weeds, and if possible, at the same time directly to discourage the undesirable components of the turf." |
