THE INFLUENCE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THE EFFICIENCY OF HERBICIDES UNDER THE INTENSIVE TECHNOLOGY OF MAIZE CULTIVATION FOR GRAIN IN KALININGRAD REGION
Studies have been carried out to investigate the effectiveness of a number of herbicidal preparations and tank mixtures against the weed component in maize for grain crops. It was revealed that the species composition and number of weeds varied depending on the thermal regime and the reserve of productive moisture in a meter layer of soil in the spring. It is established that the action of the preparations depends on the meteorological conditions at the initial stages of vegetation. Under the conditions of optimal heat and moisture availability, all the preparations studied showed high efficiency, and under the conditions of the relatively cool and humid beginning of the growing season the most effective preparations were Elumis, MeisTer Power and a tank mixture DOUBLON+Ballerina.
