Why is it important?

It very important because it gives preliminary results about the efficiency of various herbicides in spearmint and peppermint crops.

Perspectives

This paper presents preliminary results from a series of experiments where the application of chemical weed control in peppermint and spearmint crops is studied. Considering the lack of registered herbicides and the economic importance of this cultivation practice in these crops, these results could be of practical use for herbicide companies and farmers.
