Abstract

Beef and dairy enterprises are among the most economically important agricultural activities through the Caribbean Islands of the US. Rhizoma perennial peanut is currently being considered in the Caribbean as an alternative forage because of its low requirements for nitrogen fertilization, relatively high protein content, adaptability to contrasting ecological areas and low susceptibility to pests. The objective was to evaluate strategies to control weeds during and after rhizoma perennial peanut establishment. Four herbicide treatments of imazethapyr and dimethenamid were evaluated. Predominant weeds were junglerice, purple nutsedge, horse purslane, wild poinsettia and common purslane. Differences were detected for dry weight of the peanut and weeds among herbicides treatments at establishment. After establishment, evaluations indicated the best weed control was obtained on the early application dates.
