Determinação dos períodos de convivência da cana-soca com plantas daninhas

Abstract

The present work aimed to determine the period prior to interference and the total prevention period to interference of weeds in sugarcane (ratoon) cultivar SP 80-3280. The experiment was carried out on a Dark Red Oxisol. The treatments consisted of increasing periods of presence or absence of weeds: 0, 0-15, 0-34, 0-59. 0-90, 0-124,0-157, 0-269 days (sugarcane harvest). The most common weeds found in the experimental area were Panicum maximum, Acanthospermum hispidum and Altemanthera tenella. The results obtained, admitting 2% and 5% reduction in sugarcane productivity, showed that the period prior to interference tolerated by the culture was 9 and 18 days after ratoon sprout (DAS) and the total prevention period to interference was 200 and 137 DAS, respectively, resulting in a critical period of prevention to interference from 9 days at 200 DAS of 2% reduction, to 18 days at 137 DAS, of 5% reduction.
