Abstract: Two field experiments were carried out at El-Mattaana Agricultural Research Station , Esna, Qena Governorate during 1999 / 2001 and 2000/ 2002 seasons to study the effect of weed control treatments i.e. metribuzin at 300 g/fed, glufosinate at 2L + 2L/ fed, hand hoeing 4 times and untreated (control) under N-fertilizer rates (180,210 and 240 kg/fed) on weeds and sugar cane yield. Results showed that hand hoeing 4 times was the best weed control treatment for controlling the weeds (broad-leaved weeds and grasses) at 90 and 150 days after planting in both seasons followed by metribuzin and glufosinate compared with control. Hand hoeing 4 times gave the highest yield of sugar cane by 49.67 (t/fed) and its increasing 26.71 % in 1st season,and 50.82 (t/fed) and its increasing 24.96 % in 2nd season. Yield of sugar cane was significantly increased with increasing N-fertilizer rates in both seasons. N-fertilizer at rate 240 kg/fed gave the highest yield of sugar cane by 44.82 and 45.91 (t/fed) in 1st and 2nd seasonss, respectively.From this study it is considered that hand hoeing 4 times and N-fertilizer at a rate of 240 kg/fed are excellent treatrment in controlling the weeds and give the highest sugar cane yield. Weeds and sugar cane yield were not affected by the interaction between N-fertilizer rates and weed control treatment.
