Abstract
Silvex, [2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid], impregnated (20% ae) on clay granules, applied at a rate as low as 20 lb/A ae gave excellent control of well-rooted alligatorweed [Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Grieb] growing in less than 18 inches of water. The 2-ethylhexyl ester of silvex was more effective than the potassium salt. Silvex was not effective on floating-mat alligatorweed or in water over 18 inches deep.
