Abstract
Weed infestation regulation in sugar beet belongs to the most difficult growing measures, the aim of our work was to find out, if active substances contained in preparations Roundup and Fazor influence number, weight and germination of clusters in plants of weed beets. Statistically significant differences in germinability were found among control and all variants in which preparation Fazor was applied. The Roundup treatment did not have significant influence on germination. Presented results are only preliminary and one-year results, more experiments are necessary to determine the effects of the studied applications.

Summary
Weed infestation regulation in sugar beet belongs to the most difficult growing measures (Jursík, 2010). Due to their close relation with culture plants of beets, the weed beet types are tolerant to the same herbicides used in stands. To suppress weeds in sugar beet stands, it is usually sufficient to apply three post-emergent herbicides. This strategy is not efficient against weed beet infestation. In cases of massive infestation, when manual pulling out cannot be used, we must use e.g. a wick applicator (Rotowiper) or cutting of emerged plants of weed beets. Number of seeds per plant decreases with the density of weed beets, but seed production per area unit increases up to more than 50,000 seeds/m2 (Sester et al, 2004)
