Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at Iranian Plant Pro tection Research farm in karaj during 2009 to evaluate the effects of diffrent planting patterns, times of mechanical control and herbicides application on weeds density and biomass in sugar b eet farms. The experimental design was split‐split plot based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Planting pattern considered as main‐plot in three lincluding single row planting with 50 cm row width, single row planting with 60 cm row wi dth and twin row planting with 60 cm row width, time of mechanical control in three levels a s sub‐plot including mechanical weed control at 4‐6 leaves stage, 10‐12 leaves stage and 14‐16 l eaves stage (of sugar beet), and herbicides as sub‐sub plot in two levels including metamitron plus combination of phenmedipham + desmedipham + ethofumesat and triflusulfuron‐metil plus combination of phenmedipham + desmedipham + ethofumesat. Results of this study sh owed that times of mechanical weed control and herbicide application had significant effect on density and biomass of weeds. In most cases, planting pattern had appropiriate effect on weeds b iomass reducthion that best results were achived in twin row planting 60 cm. Furthermore, Be st results were achived in mechanical weed control at 4‐6 leaves stage of sugar beet that had the most reduction on weeds density and biomass. metamitron plus combination of phenmedipha m + desmedipham + ethofumesat had also the best effect on weeds density and biomass. Finally, sugar beet yield components were not affected by treatments as appropiriate as weeds con trol.
