Abstract

Two field experiments were conducted during two successive summer seasons of 2018 and 2019 cotton crop (Gossypium barbadense L.) Giza 94 was planted. Eigh treatments + control were evaluated to demonstrate the effect of herbicides on the density of weeds and the morphological characteristics of weeds and cotton. Moreover, all weed control significantly decreased weeds parameters and increased yield components in both seasons. Also, gave ahighly significant increase in seed cotton yield (Kantar/Fadden). The highest values were obtained with stomp ®+ hand howing (45 DAP) and hand hoeing twice ( 30, 45 DAP) during two seasons (12.32a, 11.62a) and (11.9 a, 10.9 ab ). From obtainingresults the highest effect on fresh and dry weight weeds decreased with the stomp ®+ hand howing (45 DAP) and hand howingtwice (30, 45 DAP). These practices gave the highest reduction in weeds density and increased cotton.
