Abstract

This study was carried out during the 2022 and 2023 seasons at Sakha Agriculture Research Station, Agriculture Research Center, Egypt. The experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated control of weeds in soybean fields, growth characters, yield components of soybean (Glycine max, L.) and determination of herbicide residues in soybean seeds. The field experiment was laid out in a randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with four replicates. The results indicated that is possible to use one of the weed control treatments in heavy infested soil with weeds. (Stomp Extra 45.5 % at the rate of 1.5 L/fed.+ Fusilade forti 15% at the rate of 1.4 L/fed.) or (Basagran 48% at the rate of 0.5 L/fed + Select super 12.5% at the rate of 0.25 L/fed.) or (Stomp Extra 45.5 % CS at the rate of 1.5 L/fed. + hand hoeing ( or (Basagran 48% at the rate of 0.5 L/fed + hand hoeing )(, which, recorded the best weed control and highest increase of soybean seed yield (ton/fed), and-  enhanced oil and protein  percentages as compared to the untreated control, without any residues in seeds of soybean after harvest.
