ABSTRACT
The effect of different materials to control Conyza stricta weed in sugarcane (Co. 1148) crop during 1999-2000 was evaluated. The treatments used were 2,4-D, Gesapex combi, Visa combi, Eucalyptus extract, Hand weeding, and Plastic covering along with control. The statistical analysis of the data showed that maximum Conyza stricta population and plant height was observed in control plots, while the minimum was in hand weeded plots. There was complete eradication of weeds in plastic covered plots. 2,4-D minimized the weed counts m-2 over Gesapex combi and Visa combi and other treatments except plastic covering. Among the herbicidal treatments, 2,4-D gave the lowest plant height. The highest fresh weight and dry weight of Conyza stricta was observed in control plots, while the lowest was in hand weeded plots. The various herbicides reduced sufficiently the fresh weight of Conyza stricta. 2,4-D reduced the dry weight of Conyza stricta than other tested expensive herbicides. It can be concluded that 2,4-D eradicate the broad leaved weeds in sugarcane and was found to be the best among chemicals, while plastic covering gave complete eradication.
