Abstract
Weed is the major factor influencing sugarcane yield loss in a competitive situation between the crop and weed. The most common method of weed control in sugarcane field has been conducted by herbicides. A field study was evaluated the efficacy of preemergence herbicide (diclosulam, diuron / hexazinone, indaziflam, imazapic + pendimethalin and sulfentrazone) application in sugarcane field as for a single row and double row. The results showed that the application of diuron / hexazinone at 210.6 + 59.4 g a.i./rai, indaziflam at 8 g a.i./rai, imazapic + pendimethalin at 12 + 148.5 g a.i./rai and sulfentrazone at 76.8 g a.i./rai controlled total weeds as in the similar level and it was not affected on crop growth under different planting methods. An exception was found in of diclosulam at 8.4 g a.i./rai which has the lowest level of total weed control when compared with the other herbicides. However, the highest level of broad spectrum activity was obtained with diuron / hexazinone and indaziflam. The indaziflam can provide a level of broad spectrum activity at low application rate than diuron / hexazinone. Therefore, indaziflam could provide a new alternative herbicide use in the sugarcane field.
