Abstract

A 2‐year field study was conducted during the rainy seasons of 1999 and 2000 at Houfa in northern Jordan, to study the performance of two barley genotypes (CWB117‐77‐9‐7//Alpha/Durra and Wiesellburger/Ahor1303‐61) and their response to hand‐weeding (practised monthly during the growing seasons) and application of the pesticide 2,4‐dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4‐D) at different growth stages. CWB117‐77‐9‐7//Alpha/Durra gave significantly higher grain yields of 1214.5 and 1362.5 kg ha −1 during 1999 and 2000, respectively. Differences in weed number and fresh weight were significant amongst various treatments in both seasons. Hand‐weeding proved to be the better weed control method. In both growing seasons, yield reductions occurred when 2,4‐D was applied to barley at stage 11–18 (leaves 1–8 unfolded) and stage 43 (mid‐boot). The hand‐weeding treatment was more effective than 2,4‐D applications in suppressing weed growth.
