The Effects of Weed Control Methods on Yield and Yield Components for Maize Plant (Zea mays L.)

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the effects of weed control methods on yield and yield components of maize. Material and Method: It was conducted with randomized blocks design with 3 replications on the maize plant at Ordu University Agriculture Faculty application area in 2019. Factors, which weeding, mixed planting maize and bean, applying 330 g/l pendimethalin before rising, applying %47.5 linuron before rising, applying 75 g/lt mesotrione + 30 g/lt nicosülfüron after rising, applying % 40 nicosülfüron after rising, 330 g/lt before rising and applying 75 g/lt mesotrione + 30 g/lt nicosülfüron after rising, applying %47.5 linuron before rising and applying %40 nicosülfüron after rising, were considered as a method of weed control. Results: The study had variations between ear length 7.90 – 21.33 cm, ear diameter 3.27 – 5.05, ear row number 7.33 – 14 pieces, kernel number per ear 93.33 – 625.33 pieces, thousand grain weight 160.34 - 308.37 g, grain yield 239.48 – 1483.17 kg/dec, the notable difference (p
