two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency two pre-emergence herbicides (oxyflourfen and pendimenthalin), one post-emergence herbicide (propaquizafop) and manual weed control as a methods of weed control in hot pepper production. The three herbicides were each applied at three different rates based on the manufacturers recommended ranges. Hand weeding was carried out as a control. oxyflourfen and pendimenthalin controlled both broad-leaved weeds and grasses efficiently in chilli pepper up to about the ten week after transplanting and required only one supplementary hand-weeding. Propaquizafop also controlled grasses effectively in the production of chilli pepper but its application required two supplementary hand-weedings. Among the three treatments applied, oxyflourfen was the most effective at controlling both the grasses and broad-leaf weeds. Plant growth, fruit characteristics and yield of pepper were positively affected by the application of pendimenthalin...
