Few weeds af arable land are so difficult to eradicate as wild oats, mainly owing to the persistence of seeds in the soil and kinship of the species to cultivated cereals. Cultural measures are beneficial but limited in application. Chemical treatments have proved of value in broad-leaved crops, and there is hope that they may yet reduce the weed in cereals, though much work must be done before this can be achieved in practice.
