Abstract
Weeds are one of the obstacles in cultivating
coffee plants. Weeds reduce the quality and quantity of coffee plants so they
must be controlled. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of a
herbicide containing the active ingredient paraquat dichloride 135 g/l to
control weeds in coffee cultivation. This research was conducted in Lemahputih
Village, Lemahsugih District, Majalengka Regency, West Java. The experiment
used a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and
four replications to obtain 28 experimental plots. The treatment consisted of
five treatments of 135 g/l paraquat dichloride herbicide with doses of 2.25
L/ha, 3.00 L/ha, 3.75 L/ha, 4.50 L/ha and 5.25 L/ha, the comparison was manual
weeding and no weeding. The research results showed that the herbicide paraquat
dichloride 135 g/l at a dose of 2.25 L/ha was able to control broadleaf weeds
and total weeds and did not cause symptoms of poisoning (phytoxicity) to coffee
plants so it did not interfere with their growth.
