Abstract

Soybean production in Indonesia remains insufficient to meet national demand, largely due to severe weed competition that limits crop access to light, nutrients, water, and growing space. These weeds cause significant yield losses and persist as a major constraint for farmers. Therefore, effective and environmentally safe weed control strategies, including oxyfluorfen-based herbicides, must be assessed to enhance soybean productivity. This study evaluated the effectiveness of 240 g/L oxyfluorfen in suppressing weeds in soybean cultivation and identified the optimal application dose. The experiment was conducted from 9 August to 30 November 2024 at the Karawang Research Farm, West Java, Indonesia under a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and four replications was used, consisting of five oxyfluorfen doses (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 L/ha), manual weeding, and an untreated control. The results of the study showed that the oxyfluorfen herbicide 240 g/L at doses of 1.0–3.0 L/ha was able to control dominant weeds such as Amaranthus spinosus, Cleome rutidosperma, Cyperus rotundus, and Portulaca oleracea. There were also no symptoms of plant phytotoxicity. Herbicide application at a dose of 1.5 to 3.0 L/ha can produce optimal soybean plant height (60.69 cm). The use of doses of 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 L/ha also resulted in high dry seed weight per plot (1.75 kg, 1.82 kg, and 1.76 kg), which exceeded the results of manual weeding and controls, without causing signs of toxicity in soybean plants.
