Abstract
The presence of weeds in the plant life cycle can affect crop yields by
competition between corn plants and weeds which reduces corn production.
Control with paraquat herbicide can increase corn yields compared to without
control. This research aims to determine the effect of herbicides on weed
control and corn plant growth, which was carried out in Bungur Village, Babakan
Jawa Subdistrict, Majalengka Regency, West Java. This experiment used a
non-factorial randomized block design with seven treatments and four
replications. The experiment consisted of five treatments of the herbicide Xone-Quat
138 SL (ba: paraquat dichloride) at doses of 2.25 l/ha, 3.00 l/ha, 3.75 l/ha,
4.50 l/ha, 5.25 l/ha and two treatments with manual weeding and without
weeding. The data obtained if there is a significantly different effect will be
tested further using a Duncan level of 5%. The results of the research
conducted showed that the application of herbicides containing the active
ingredient paraquat dichloride at doses of 4.50 l/ha and 5.25 l/ha gave good
results for suppressing weeds and the growth of corn plants, but at a dose of
2.25 l/ha it was able to suppress weeds.
