Abstract: Field efficacy of SULM 70 WG and Metribuzin 70 WP herbicide was tested in controlling of grasses, sedge and broad-leaf weeds in sugarcane at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Powarkheda (MP) during 2017-18. Results revealed that all the treatments of herbicides significantly reduced the weed density and increased the cane yield significantly as compared to untreated control. Among different treatments, SULM 70 WG @ 3.0 kg /ha applied pre emergence was found to be superior as recorded lowest weed counts viz. 3.8, 2.8, 4.1, 3.6 and 2.9 as compared to highest weed density viz. 31.2, 14.9, 25.7, 33.3 and 23.4 of Cynodon dactylon, Echinochloa crusgalli, Cyperus rotundus, Chenopodium album and Parthenium hysterophorus in control, respectively at 60 days after sowing of sugarcane. The lowest Weed Dry Weight (12.16 g) as compare to untreated control (55.65 g) and the highest weed control efficiency (78.15%) was also recorded under SULM 70 WG @ 3.0 kg/ha. Likewise, the highest cane yield of 114.14 and 133.35 t/ha was also received from SULM 70 WG @ 2.5 kg /ha and 3.0 kg/ha, respectively.
