Abstract
The maintenance activity that must be carried
out on immature coffee plants is weed control. Weeds can cause problems in
immature coffee plantations. Controlling weeds in plantation areas will be more
efficient and effective by using herbicides. IPA Glyphosate herbicide have a
broad spectrum and often used to control weeds in plantation crops. The IPA
Glyphosate herbicide can inhibit the action of the EPSPS enzyme. This research
aims to determine the effectiveness and dose of the isopropylamine glyphosate
245 g/l herbicide in controlling various types of weeds in immature coffee
plants. The research was conducted from January to April 2024 at the people's
coffee plantation, Tanjung Karya Village, Samarang District, Garut Regency,
West Java Province. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with
seven treatments and four replications, so that 28 experimental plots were
obtain. The treatment included the application of isopropylamine (IPA)
glyphosate 245 g/l herbicide at a dose of 2.25; 3.00; 3.75; 4.50; 5.25 l/ha;
manual weeding; and control. The experimental results showed that the herbicide
containing the active ingredient isopropylamine (IPA) glyphosate 245 g/l
starting at a dose of 2.25 – 5.25 l/ha was effective in controlling the weeds Setaria
plicata, Marsypianthes chamaedrys, Drymaria cordata, Artemisia vulgaris,
Ageratum conyzoides, Galinsoga parviflora, other weeds, and total weeds up
to 12 Weeks After Application (WAA) without causing phytotoxicity to immature
coffee plants.
