Evaluation weed control and sugarcane tolerance to Comitol DG 75 (isoxaflutol) of Comercia, Monaco
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sugar cane is a tropical crop which needs high requirements; the grass controllers constitute the main method for the control of weeds. Weeds acquire some nutrients needed for sugar cane, increasing the costs and decreasing performance. The capability to produce a lot of seeds, its vitality for many years and the survivance means, aided plague propagation. This work exposes the results of the weeds control in preemergency, Comitol GD 75 (isoxaflutol) from Comercia, Mónaco. The experiments of products test began in UBPC Calderón which belongs to Sugar Cane Enterprise “Dos Ríos”, in Santiago of Cuba province, on a calcid sialitic soil in a shoot, C86-12 variety. Evaluations were done to 30, 60 and 90 days after aplied the product. We used the block design random (5x6), yielding the best treatment of the new grass controler Comitol GD 75 from Comercia, Mónaco. It was applied in weeds and crop preemergency in dry contitions, using a dossage of 230 g/ha of commercial product, whichs shows to have a higher efficiency with respect to evaluated treadments, that’s why we recomended this new product.
