Herbicides, Integrated weed management, Sugarcane, Weed-control efficiency
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated weed management practices in spring planted sugarcane. Echinochloa spp, Cyperus rotundus, Celosia argentia, Ipomoea spp, were the dominant weeds associated with the crop and constituted 22.22, 48.38, 13.62 and 5.73% of total weed population, respectively. Three hoeings at 30, 60 and 90 days after planting preemergence application of metribuzin at 0.080 kg/ha or ametryn at 2.0 kg/ ha with two hoeings done at 60 and 90 DAP were most effective against most of the weeds and were at par with three hoeings at 30, 60 and 90 days after planting among themselves
