| Abstract | ||
| This study, based on a collaborative project with the Regional Council for Research and Agricultural Extension, was carried out at an experimental farm of a sandy soil belonging to Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, El-Bustan Region, Beheira Governorate, during two seasons (2004&2005) on an area of 5850 m2. The experiment was designed in a split plot, arranged in a randomized complete blocks with three replications. Irrigation operations [Drip(DI)/Sprinkler(SI)] were assigned to the main plots, while weed control methods (hoe weeding/herbicide used through either conventional spraying with 0.300kg/fed concentration or herbigation with three herbicide concentrations of 0.150, 0.225 and 0.300kg/fed.) were assigned to the subplots. The data were statistically analyzed by the Least Squares Method using a model involving the two factors (irrigation system and weed control method) and their interaction as affecting eradication percent, tomato yield/fed., and cost of control operation. The effect on herbicide residues in the tomatoes was also investigated | ||
