CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE GRAMINEOUS Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers AND Rottboellia cochinchinensis (Lour) Clayton IN CORN AND ITS EFFECT IN THE OUTPUT UNDER SYSTEM WITHOUT TILLAGE.

The chemical combat of weeds in corn, is a common activity in the mayority of the corn farming areas.

In two corn localities of Alanje and Bugaba, province of Chiriqui, Republic of Panama, with the purpose of evaluating the effectivity of the products and/or their mixture over such weeds.

The seven chemical treatments had an application of glyfosate intake 1.44 kg i.a./ha, 15 days before planting (DAS) and after applications in pre, post-early and post-late of the herbicides and/or their mixtures.

In the locality of Los Angeles, Siogui, Bugaba, the treatment glyfosate/paraquat in dose of 1.44/0.44 kg i.a./ha applied 15 days before planting and 25 days after planting showed an excellent control (50.0%) over manisuris even 90 days after planting.

The hen grass reduced the production of corn about 84.3% and the manisuris about 74.5%.
