Abstract
The presence of weeds causes intense
competition to obtain the nutrients needed by corn plants. Weeds cause losses both in
terms of quality and quantity of corn production. This study aims to analyze the
effectiveness of the herbicide Paraquat dichloride 138 g/L on weed control,
growth and corn yield. The research was carried out in Babakan Jawa
Village, Majalengka District, Majalengka Regency, West Java Province. The experiment used
a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven
treatments and four replications. The experiment consisted of five herbicide
treatments Paraquat dichloride 138 g/L with doses of 2.25 l/ha, 3.00
l/ha, 3.75 l/ha, 3.75 l/ha, 4.50 l/ha and 5.25 l/ha and comparison in the
form of manual control and control. The data obtained if there are significant
differences will be tested further using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT)
at the 5% level. The results of the study showed that administering the
herbicide Paraquat dichloride 138 g/l at a dose of 3.00 l/ha is able to
control weed growth and increase dry shell weight.
