Abstract

Investigation on the effect of peanut intercropped and trash mulch on weed control and growth of sugarcane were conducted during 1982-1987 at farmer's fields in Suphan Buri and Nakhon-Pathom province. The results revealed that intercropping of peanut in plant cane could reduce weed infestation by 31.1%. In ratoon cane, mulching with sugarcane leaves provided better yield than unmulching by 48.4% in average. Trash mulch seemed to be beneficial for reducing weed dry weight and enhancing growth of sugarcane at the early stage of ratooning.
