Since 1951 many fumigation experiments have been carried out with different species and varieties of plants, including field corn and sweet corn. Results for gladiolus and Milo maize have been summarized, but only brief mention has been made of results obtained with corn. This report summarizes some of the earlier results obtained with sweet corn, used alone or in comparative tests with field corn in unreplicated experiments and the results of replicated fumigation experiments with Marcross sweet corn (Zea mays L.) and lamb's-quarters (Chenopodium album L.) carried out in 1963.
