Abstract

In 2018 in the experimental field of the Institute of Plant Genetic Resources - Sadovo was carried out an experience with Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth (honey plant). There was studied the effectiveness against annual and perennial grass and broad-leaved weeds of three herbicides. The study was conducted on an experimental area of 5 m2 in two repetitions; the total area was 10 m2. The result of the experiment showed that only the herbicide Sertaki CS, a capsule suspension formulation containing 360g/l Clomazone had no negative effect of the growth and on seed yield of the Phacelia.
