Abstract

Goal. To determine the effect of herbicides on the weediness of crops and the yield of Phaseolus vulgaris seeds in the conditions of the Right Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine. Methods. Informational and analytical (collection of materials and analysis of literary sources), field research (setting up experiments, observing the development of plants, determining biometric indicators, accounting for the number of weeds, collecting and determining the structure of the harvest), mathematical and statistical (processing of research results). The field experiment design included weeded and weed-protected plots to compare the development of common bean plants under different growing conditions. The results. It was established that the dominant weeds among cereals were chicken millet and gray mouse millet, and among dicotyledonous weeds - ragweed, white quinoa, common sedge, black solanum, field mustard, etc. The use of herbicide protection significantly improves the yield of Phaseolus vulgaris. The obtained yield increased on average by 1.93 - 2.01 t/ha compared to the weeded control. Conclusions. Weeding can significantly reduce the yield of common bean crops by competing for resources such as light, water and nutrients. Weed control helps conserve these resources for the Phaseolus vulgaris and increase its yield. The use of herbicides is an effective method of weed control, which promotes optimal growth of Phaseolus vulgaris. The increase in yield due to the application of herbicide protection can offset the costs of purchasing and applying the herbicide. It is important to consider the effectiveness of specific herbicides when choosing crop protection methods. Different herbicides can have different spectrums of action, that is, be effective against different types of weeds. The right choice will help optimize results and save costs. Therefore, weed control in common Phaseolus vulgaris crops through the application of herbicide protection is an important and effective strategy that can increase the yield and economic efficiency of common bean cultivation technology.
