SELECTIVITY AND EFFICACY OF FLUROCHLORIDONE WITH OTHER HERBICIDES IN WEED CONTROL IN PROCESSING TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

For weed control in processing tomato new herbicides need to be registered. Flurochloridone with metobromuron/dimethenamid-P was applied before and after transplanting to assess its efficacy and crop injury. All treatments provided good (75-90%) to excellent (>90%) efficacy in weed control. Also, all four treatments caused crop injury, whereby treatment with metobromuron caused higher damage. Further research must be conducted whith different herbicides and rates, to keep excellent efficacy but reduce crop injury.
