Abstract
Sweet corn is an
important carbohydrate-producing food crop in the world besides rice. Sweet
corn has high economic value in the market and a relatively faster production
period. To increase sweet corn production in Indonesia, one of which is the
growth of weeds. Therefore, this study aims to control weeds that grow in sweet
corn cultivation land using a mixture of herbicides Atrazin 300 g/l and
Topramezon 10 g/l and determine the influence of the growth and yield of sweet
corn plants. This experiment was carried out from September 2024 to December
2024 at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Padjajaran University,
Jatinangor District, Sumedang, West Java Province. The experiment used a Group
Random Design (RAK) with seven treatments and four replicates. The trial
consisted of five mixed treatments of herbicides Atrazin 300 g/l and Topramezon
10 g/l with doses A : 1.5 l/ha, B : 2.0 l/ha, C : 2.5 l/ha, D : 3.0 l/ha, E :
3.5 l/ha, F : Manual Weeding, G: Control. The results of the study showed that
the application of a mixture of herbicides Atrazin 300 g/l and Topramezon 10
g/l at a dose of 2.0 l/ha was able to suppress total weed growth and affect the
growth and yield of sweet corn plants and did not cause phytotoxicity to sweet
corn plants.
