Abstract
Weeds are plants that competitor with plants so that they inhibit growth which causes a decrease in onion production. In general, weed control is done by weeding which takes time, energy and money. The use of herbicides with the active ingredient Oxyfluorfen 240 g/l is the solution to this problem. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Unpad Ciparanje, Jatinangor District, Sumedang Regency from March to June 2020. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the herbicide tested in controlling weeds in shallot plantations so as to increase plant growth. This study used an experimental or experimental method of Randomized Block Design (RBD) which consisted of 7 treatments, each of which was repeated 4 times. Observation variables were weeds, growth, and yield of shallots. The results showed that the application of the Oxifluorfen 240 g/l herbicide starting at a dose of 2.00 l/ha was effective in controlling dominant weeds (Cyperus rotundus, Cleome rutidosperma, Ageratum conyzoides, Commelina benghalensis, Alternanthera sessilis), other weeds (Mimosa invisa, Mimosa pudica, Eclipta prostrata, Amaranthus spinosus, Cynodon dactylon, and Eleucine indica), and total weeds on shallot plants up to 6 weeks after application. Herbicide application starting at a dose of 2.00 l/ha gave better shallot yields than the control.
