AB - In this study, the determination of the effect of band herbicide,
hoeing, brushing and flaming methods that has been used especially row crops
on weed management on the parameters of weed management and yield in silage
maize has been aimed. Tillage, seed bed preparation, planting and fertilization
were applied at the all area of experiment plots with the same method weed management
tool and machines have been run at three different ground speeds. After application
the number of weeds in the experimental areas were determined using the framework
with 0.5 m2 and compared with the control plots. The best weed control
in the weed management areas was determined in the lowest ground speed of Band
Herbicide Method with a value of 79% in the 1st year and 81% in the 2nd year.
The speed increasing in applied Weed Management Methods caused to increse on
weed numbers, the control effectiveness in increasing speeds decreased. As a
result, the usage of brushing weeder and flaming which are among alternative
Weed Management Methods at lower ground speed in the maize production areas
has been effective on weeds at earlier periods. In the research, yield and yield
components investigated were negatively affected by weeds and therfore significant
differences were determined in management methods according to variance analysis.
The highest yield was obtained in the band herbicide application applied by
field crop sprayer the lowest yield was obtained in control plots.
