蔬菜為台灣地區重要的產業，年生產面積超過17萬公頓，年產值368億元，經濟栽培之蔬菜達41種，傳統上過去多以人工除草為主，但自1968年理有龍（linuron）正式登記推薦於蘆荀田以來，除草劑之應用逐年普及與廣泛，歷年來共有28種藥劑被推薦使用，其中護谷、加速汰、滅落脫、雷蒙得、貝殺靈、大克草、克乃達、禾爾邦及滅殺草等9種藥劑已禁用或停止登記，目前則有19種藥劑被登記於13種作物上，其中以甘藍最多達10種，其次為西瓜5種，為數7成之經濟栽培蔬菜目前仍無推薦藥劑可用。19種藥劑中則以施得圃登記於6種作物最多，其次為伏寄普5種，市面經常可見也僅有施得圃、拉草、丁基拉草、理有龍、三褔林、伏寄普及復祿芬等數種。登記之除草劑經藥劑委託試驗發現共可防治11科19種之闊葉類雜草及2科共11種之尖葉類雜草。舉凡蔬菜田春秋作皆危害嚴重之馬齒莧、牛筋草、野莧、鱧腸、藿香薊、碎米莎草及平地夏季常見之山芥菜、鵝兒腸、龍葵、通泉草、小葉灰藋等皆可有效防治。目前推薦之除草劑以萌前除草劑為多，萌後除草劑其次，但萌後除草劑對蔬菜田闊葉類雜草選擇性不高，易造成藥害。此外由於推薦藥劑僅佔所有經濟栽培蔬菜之三成，因此農民多以其多年栽培經驗自行選擇防治田間雜草的除草劑，唯農藥殘留問題值得注意。

Vegetable crops are one of the important agricultural industry in Taiwan. The annual production areas in over 170,000 hectares and production value reached NT$3680,000,000. The commercial cultivation is about 41 varieties. In the past, manual weeding used in vegetable field. Since 1968, Linuron have officially registered and recommended in asparagus field, the application of herbicide is gradually become widely used. There are total 28 herbicides have been registered. Among the registered herbicides, TOK, Acephonene, Napropamide, Propachlor, Fluchloralin, DCPA, TCA, Noreaomd Nitralin have been prohibited. At present, there is 19 herbicides is registered in 13 kinds of vegetable crops. There are 10 and 5 herbicides registered for cabbage and watermelon, respectively. But 70% of economic vegetable crops didn’t have recommended herbicides. Among registered herbicides, Pendimethalin and Fluazifopbutyl have recommended on 6 and 5 vegetable crops, respectively. The common herbicides found in the market are Pendimllhalin, Alachlor, Butachlor, Linuron, Trifluralin, Fluazifopbutyl and Oxyfluoren. From the result of herbicides registration trials found that totally they controlled 11 families of 19 species broadleaf weeds and 2 families of 9 species grass weeds. Most of the registered herbicides belongs pre-emergence herbicides, The post-emergemce herbicides didn’t have high selectivity to broadleaf weed in vegetable field.
