Abstract:

A comparative study of a Weeding Earthing- Up Machine (SBK2) biological efficiency and pre emergency, post emergency herbicides (pendimethalin, oxadiazon, cycloxidim, haloxyfop-r-methyl) against Cyperus spp., Spigelia anthelmia, Digitaria horizontalis etc…which cause big damages to onion and their effects on a ferruginous soil agrochemicals properties has been done at Kou valley, in Burkina Faso. The biological efficiencies of the different weeding methods have been evaluated according [1] method. The weeds reduction rates were evaluated with the help of [2] formula. Nitrogen nitrate content levels in the soil, were determined with a spectrophotometer [3]. Those of available phosphorus by [4]. Available potassium levels were evaluated using a flame photometer. The dry weeds reduction rate with the weeding earthing - up machine varied from 57. 46% to 91.40% while those of the herbicides from 11.61% to 57. 45%. At the onion- shaped dome stage, the absorption of nitrogen nitrate content, available phosphorus and potassium contents was disturbed by herbicides application. This dry weeds reduction and all of these factors led to a yield increase of 54.11% at the weeding earthing-up machine SBK2 against 47.31% at Pendimethalin associated with Haloxyfop-r-methyl, in comparison with the untreated control. The use of SBK 2 augurs a new integrated pest management method against onion weeds, preserving consumers’ health and the environment.
