Studies were conducted under the agroecological conditions in the South of Buenos Aires Province. In order to protect the crop during the critic period due to weed competition which lasts for the first seven weeks, several herbicides were applicated before transplanting: Trifluralin, Pendimethalin and metribuzin through machanical incorporation, and naptalan, Butylate, Atrazine, Linuron and a mixture of Pendimethalin + Linuron through watering. The best yields were obtained with Pendimethalin and the mixture Pendimethalin + linuron. Naptalan, did not increase the yield of the crop compared with the control with weeds.
