Abstract

Weeds hinder sugarcane growth by competing for nutrients, water, light, and space, making effective weed management essential. Chemical control is a preferred approach, with herbicides offering a reliable solution. Among them, 2,4-D dimethyl amine (865 g/L) is particularly effective in managing broadleaf weeds commonly found in sugarcane fields. Therefore, this study was conducted in Gagasari Village, Gebang Sub-district, Cirebon Regency, West Java, from September 2024 to February 2025 to evaluate the efficacy of controlling broadleaf weeds to enhance sugarcane cultivation. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments consisted of the herbicide 2,4-D dimethyl amine 865 g/L at a dose of 1.5 L/ha; 2.0 L/ha; 2.5 L/ha; 3.0 L/ha; manual weeding, and Control. Experiment results showed that 2,4-D dimethyl amine 865 g/L herbicide at a dose level of 1.5 L/ha to 3.0 L/ha is effective in controlling broadleaf weeds (Ageratum conyzoides, Euphorbia hirta, Ipomoea triloba, Synedrella nodiflora) and total weeds up to 12 weeks after application (WAA) in sugarcane plants. 2,4-D dimethyl amine 865 g/L herbicide at a dose level of 1.5 L/ha to 3.0 L/ha does not cause phytotoxicity in sugarcane plants.
