Secondary Growth Control
The only real worthwhile and per manent control of secondary growth if! a sound, dense grass turf, discriminately stocked periodically with large numfoerd of animals, and particularly with cattle, 1 states Mr. E. Bruce Levy, director of Grasslands Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. A weak turf, hard, close and continuously grazed, particularly with sheen, gives the correct light-reaction, and other environmental conditions, propitious for the establishment and spread of the most troublesome secondary-growth weeds. Most of these weeds, and many others, require the full light of day to the soil surface to stimulate germination of the seed for spores lying dormant in the soil.
