The experiment was established at R.D.I.V.F.G. Vidra in 2023 and aimed the weeds control in tomato crops in the field. The tomato variety Pontica 102 was used. The herbicides Buzzin, in doses of 0.5 kg/ha, Stomp Aqua, 1.0-3.0 l/ha, Wish Top, 0.83-1.25 l/ha and Titus 25 DF, 40-60 g/ha were tested. The experiment included 5 variants, in 2 replicates. The surface of the repetition plot was 36 square meters. The presence of the following weed species was identified in the culture: Setaria spp. (bristle grasses), Portulaca oleracea (fat grass), Amaranthus spp. (amaranth), Convolvulus arvensis (field bindweed), Abutilon theophrasti (velvetleaf) and Cerastium arvense (field chickweed). The herbicide Titus 25 DF effectively combated the weed species Setaria spp. (E=99.4%), Portulaca oleracea (E=66.7%; average E=83.1%) and Buzzin, the weed species Portulaca oleracea (E =89%) and Setaria spp. (E=68.4%; average E=78.7%). Regarding the yields obtained, variants 2 (Stomp Aqua) with 5.740 kg/m2 and 1 (Buzzin) with 5.650 kg/m2 were in the first 2 places, compared to 4.050 kg/m2 for variant 5 (untreated control).
