Keywords: pre-emergence herbicides, postemergence herbicides, seeds, alfalfa, weeds, irrigation, natural moisture

Abstract

Purpose. Investigate the effect of pre-emergence,post-emergence herbicides and their combination onthe degree of contamination of alfalfa seed crops in the first year and seed yield. Tasks and research methods. Theresearch was conducted during 2018-2020 in the researchfield of the Institute of Irrigated Agriculture of NAAS.Factor A ‒ humidification conditions (without irrigationand irrigation); factor B ‒ the use of pre-emergenceherbicide (Control (without herbicide), the active substance(a.s.) S-metolachlor 960 g/l, a.s. Pendimethalin 330 g/l, a.s.Dimethenamid-P 720 g/l); factor C ‒ application of postemergenceherbicide (Control (without herbicide), Control(manual weeding), a.s. Imazamox 40 g/l, a.s. Bentazone480 g/l, a.s. Bentazone 480 g/l + Imazamox 22.4 g/l, a.s.Imazapir 15 g/l + Imazamox 33 g/l). Research results.The application of pre-emergence herbicides reducedthe weediness of alfalfa crops compared to the control. Themost effective was the pre-emergence herbicide with a.s.Dimethenamid-P 720 g/l. But the use of pre-emergenceherbicides did not contribute to the further completepurity of alfalfa crops, so it was necessary to apply postemergenceherbicides. The most effective was the herbicidewith active ingredients Imazapir 15 g/l + Imazamox 33 g/l.But the highest yield of alfalfa seeds, under both conditionsof moisture, was obtained in the variant when using preemergenceherbicide with a.s. Dimethenamid-P 720 g/l,the rate of 1.2 l/ha and post-emergence a.s. Imazamox 40 g/l,the rate of 1.2l/ ha. When irrigated, the seed productivityin this variant was 195.06 kg/ha, in conditions of naturalmoisture, the seed yield was 107.58 kg/ha. Conclusions.The use of pre-emergence herbicides reduced weedinfestation in the early stages of plant development. But inthe future, post-emergence herbicides had to be used tokeep alfalfa crops free of weeds. The highest yield of alfalfaseeds, under both conditions of moisture, was obtained inthe variant when applying pre-emergence herbicide witha.s. Dimethenamid-P 720 g/l, the rate of 1.2 l/ha and postemergencea.s. Imazamox 40 g/l, the rate of 1.2 l/ha.
