Field trial was conducted during the 2012 and 2013 wet seasons at Institute for Agricultural Research,Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Farms at Kadawa and Minjibir, (110 39’N, 080 20’E) and Kano (120 08’ N, 080 40’ E)500m above sea level in the Semi arid ecological zone of Nigeria, to study the influence of weed control treatment and plant population on yield and yield attributes of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.)Moench. sub-species. saccharatum) varieties. The treatments consisted of four levels of weed control treatment (one rate each of atrazine and primextra gold at 2.1 kg a.i/ha, hoe-weeded control at 3 and 6 weeks after sowing (WAS) and weedy check), three plant densities (53,333, 106,667, and 160,000 plants/ha), and two varieties(NTJ2 and Ex-Daura). The treatments were laid out in a split plot design with three replications. The combination of weed control treatment and the plant population were assigned to main plot while the two varieties to sub-plot. The study revealed that primextra gold at 2.1 kg a.i/haand two hoe-weeding at 3 and 6 WAS resulted in significantly longer panicle length, higher 1000-grain weight, stalk, grain, and brix yields in both seasons and locations.T he performance of this herbicide was comparable to hoeweeding in keeping the trial fields weed free and lower competition for nutrients at both location seasons. Weedy check reduced all yields and yield attributes. The 160,000 plants/ha significantly suppressed weed infestation and resulted in longer panicles, higher 1000-grain weight, stalk, grains and brix yields at the two the locations and seasons. NTJ2 performed better in term yield and yield attributes, with higher stalk yield at Kadawa and grain yield at Minjibir. Based on the result obtained from this , it can be concluded that the use of NTJ2 variety, with application of primextra gold at 2.1 kg a.i/ha, and 160,000 plant population and NTJ2 variety had resulted gave season long weed control, the highest stalk and grain yields at Kadawa and Minjibir.Keywords: Grainand stalk yields, plant population, sweet sorghum and weed control

RESUMO - Objetivou-se com o trabalho determinar o período anterior à interferência (PAI), período total de prevenção à interferência (PTPI) e período crítico de prevenção à interferência (PCPI) das plantas daninhas nacultura do sorgo sacarino, cultivar BRS 506. O trabalho foi conduzido na Fazenda Experimental da Embrapa Milho e Sorgo, em Nova Porteirinha, MG. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela combinação de dois espaçamentos entrelinhas do sorgo (0,50 e 0,70 m) e dez períodos de controle ou de convivência das plantas daninhas com a cultura (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 e 120 dias após a emergência). O PAI foi de 19 e 24 DAE para o espaçamento 0,5 me 0,7 m, respectivamente. O PTPI para produtividade de massa verde total foi 17 e 10 DAE para os espaçamentos de 0,5 m e 0,7 m, respectivamente.

The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Embrapa Milho e Sorgo at Nova Porteirinha,MG. The treatments were a combination of two sorghum row spacings (0.50 and 0.70 m) and ten periods of weedscoexisting with the crop ( 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 and 120 days after emergence, DAE). The PBWI was 19 and24 DAE for 0.5 m and 0.7 m spacings, respectively. The TPWI for total green mass productivity was 17 and 10 DAEfor 0.5 m and 0.7 m spacings, respectively. There was no TPWI for the other parameters. There was no CPWI for anyof the evaluated parameters (PBWI > TPWI).Keywords: Sorghum bicolor, competition, interference periods, BRS 506, PBWI, TPWI.

Sorghum bicolor L. Moench is a herbaceous annual C4-type plant, with a high ecological plasticity because it can be grown in tropical, subtropical, temperate and semi-arid regions, harnessing soils with reduced natural fertility, from the category of sandy soils. Studies on 5 sweet sorghum hybrids studied under psamosols in southern Oltenia highlight a bioenergy potential in the milk-wax phase of the grain, ranging from 60847.4-89338.65 Mcal / ha, with a maximum in the hybrid Shaşm 2, which achieved a distinctly significant difference in production, compared to the average production of hybrids. The results recorded in sugar sorghum production were positively correlated, significantly distinct with leaf index determined during the flowering of the plants (r = 0.9854**).
