Abstract

The presence of weeds in immature oil palm plantations needs to be controlled, otherwise it results in competition with the main crop. Herbicide active ingredients, especially glyphosate, are widely used to reduce weed growth in oil palm plantations.. This study aimed to determine the dose of isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide that effectively controls weeds in oil palm plantations, changes in weed composition, and phytotoxicity due to the application of isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide in immature oil palm plantations. This trial was conducted in Oil Palm Plantation, Karang Anyar Village, Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency and Weed Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung, September - December 2022. The trial was conducted using a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 replications and 6 treatments, namely several dose levels of isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide (787,5; 1.050; 1.312,5; and 1.575 g ha-1), mechanical weeding, and untreatment. Homogeneity of data variance was tested with Bartlett's test, additivity of data was tested with Tukey's test, and differences in treatment mean values were tested with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% level.The trial showed that isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide doses of 787,5 - 1.575 g ha-1 effectively controlled total weeds, grasses (Axonopus compressus and Ottochloa nodosa), and sedge (Cyperus kyllingia), as well as broad leaves (Asystasia gangetica and Melastoma affine) at dose levels of 1.312,5 and 1.575 g ha-1 at (4, 8, and 12) week after application, isopropylamine glyphosate herbicide doses of 787,5 - 1.575 g ha-1 caused changes in weed composition, and did not cause poisoning of immature oil palm plants after being applied to the crop disk until 12 week after application.
